Today, Democratic Majority for Israel President & CEO Brian Romick released the following statement:
“Today, the Democratic Party sent a clear and resounding message by defeating a reckless and divisive resolution: we stand with the people of Israel and will continue to do so. For more than 75 years, the U.S.–Israel relationship has been strong because it’s grounded in shared values and mutual security interests.
“We cannot forget how we got here. Hamas started this war and continues to hold 50 hostages. Passing this resolution would have been a gift to Republicans, further divided our party, and rewarded Hamas’ brutality.
“In this critical moment, Democrats stood firm, rejected this dangerous effort, and sent a message that they remain united in our commitment to Israel’s security and our long-standing alliance.”
