Blake Moore: “American leadership has always been the most influential, powerful agent for freedom, peace, and democracy. One month…”

“American leadership has always been the most influential, powerful agent for freedom, peace, and democracy. One month ago, the House stood up to protect our values and national interests by passing a bipartisan package to help Israel defend itself from Hamas. I recently attended a screening of the footage from Hamas that Chairman McCaul and Ranking Member Meeks invited us all to, and I am so grateful for their leadership to have us do that. I knew it was footage that would be tough to see, but I knew it was footage I needed to see. I won't ever be the same after having seen that. As we support our ally, we must take a comprehensive look at the Biden administration's Middle East policy. Encapsulating all of my thoughts today in my remarks is a simple concept: With foreign policy, although it would be desired by all, you can't have it all. You have to make tough choices when it comes to foreign policy. You don't get to have everything that you would ever want. You cannot have it all with respect to foreign policy. I will share a little bit about how important it is to take a stand. While I am grateful for President Biden's clear support for Israel, his administration's attempts to placate Iran, the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world, have been a critical misstep.…”
