I rise today to reflect on my very recent visit to Israel. It was a humbling journey through the Holy Land, where the history and resilience of the Israeli people left a deep impression. I stood inside Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulcher, a profound moment for me as a Christian. I was grateful to have met Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israel's President Herzog, and our own Ambassador Mike Huckabee. Each visit afforded a deeper understanding of the enduring bond between our nations. Our delegation visited the site of the Nova music festival, where Hamas terrorists carried out one of the most horrific attacks on October 7. The trip was both sobering and inspiring. It reaffirmed my conviction to stand with the people of Israel, while working toward the goal of a more peaceful Middle East.
