WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) issued the following statement on the recent Israeli military strikes in Lebanon: "In the last 11 months, Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed terrorist organization, has launched thousands of rockets at northern Israel from Lebanon, forcing tens of thousands of Israelis to flee from their homes. Israel has the right to defend itself and its people from adversaries in the Middle East. I worked closely with the Israeli Defense Force during my time in the USAF and witnessed the technology our adversaries utilize against U.S. allies. The Biden-Harris Administration must end its strategy of appeasement toward Iran and its proxies that have prolonged this conflict. We must continue standing with Israel as they fight for their freedom." |
