Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I rise today and come here to strongly oppose the two resolutions before the Senate at this moment. These misguided resolutions, if adopted, would reinstate the failed policies of the Biden administration. Worse, they would abandon Israel, our closest ally in the Middle East, during a pivotal moment for global security. For years, President Biden wrung his hands and withheld American support for Israel in its time of need. This inaction only prolonged suffering for all sides and put America's commitment in doubt. Despite this, Israel had the courage to confront Iran and its proxies, and it decimated them. Through President Trump's tough negotiations and Israel's courage, Iran is at its weakest point in decades, and hostages are returning home. At the same time, Israel is contending with its operations against Hamas, efforts to maintain a fragile cease-fire in Lebanon, and the ongoing threats to Iran. Now is not the time to deprive our ally of the tools it needs to protect American interests. I yield to Senator Sanders. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont.”
