“I appreciate the opportunity to be here following those series of speeches delivered that lead perfectly into the discussion that we're here to have. This is a crucial moment for the State of Israel, for the United States, for the relationship that binds us together. This is an important moment for those who believe in democracy and for those who believe in peace.

I appreciate the opportunity to engage in a discussion with some of my colleagues, and I would like to start by recognizing my neighbor and my friend, the gentlelady from Florida, Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz.”
