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

Do we support in their ambition to eliminate Hamas?

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

Our commitment to Israel was ironclad.

I think we are concerned.

I am really disappointed in what I have heard today.

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

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.

I think respects greatly the legislative branch of government.

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.

This is unprecedented.

Today more than ever alliances are critical to our national security.

Protectionism over economic engagement, ideology over pragmatism, and form over substance do not advance U.S. interests.

This trilateral will change the power dynamic in the South China Sea.

A lot of times we get a lot of talk and not much substance, and I think today all of us feel we got our money's worth today.

This is pure evil, and it baffles and angers me that there are those who seek to justify Hamas's actions.

Initiatives must have concrete actions if they are to help us win this competition.

These autocrats have shown us who they are time and time again and what they intend to do.

The Administration's approach to alliances is not serving our interests.

The United States has had a strategic interest in Asia being open and free for over two centuries.

AUKUS is a game changer.

In my opinion, the same can be said of Kim Jong-Un and autocrats the world over.

I'm a big fan and booster of the Quad.

A balance of power favorable to the United States protects U.S. interests and allies' sovereignty, advances economic prosperity, and ensures no one has to bow to a bully.
