No one who allowed a foreign adversary to treat U.S. diplomats this way should be a U.S. ambassador.

They admitted they have.

I think respects greatly the legislative branch of government.

Do we support in their ambition to eliminate Hamas?

Nobody has said anything to me. I turned on TV set. And there it is that somebody has made a decision that countermands the agreement that we made.

Our commitment to Israel was ironclad.

The only way they would come back to the table is if they think they can snooker us again.

It is ironclad as long as they do what we tell them to do.

I think we are concerned.

I have never agreed with every decision made by any Administration since I have been in the U.S. Senate on every issue.

We are all full of hope. But unfortunately, the history that we have had with these two countries is very, very discouraging.

Soft power only works when it is backed up by hard power.

For deterrence to be credible, it must be backed up by capability and political will to follow through on the threat.

Ma'am, you are living in la-la land. They are not coming back to the table.

I am really disappointed in what I have heard today.

They are partners, they are friends. If we are going to work together with them, they need to have access and flex.

It is going to be never. You guys are dreaming over there if this is what you are waiting for.
