Congressman John B. Larson released the following statement today on the passage of House Resolution 657, expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding United States support for the State of Israel as it defends itself against unprovoked rocket attacks from the Hamas terrorist organization. Larson is a cosponsor of the resolution, which passed today by unanimous consent in the U.S. House of Representatives.

"Israel is our greatest ally in the Middle East. The ongoing attacks and hundreds of rockets fired on the people of Israel threaten millions in the region. I join in support of Israel's right to defend against this assault and thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for coming together behind this effort," said Larson.
