Congressman Bean Statement in Support of Israel

WASHINGTON—This week, U.S. Congressman Aaron Bean (FL-04) stood with our ally, Israel, by voting in favor of H. Con. Res. 57, a resolution to reaffirm the United States support for the State of Israel and commemorated the 75^th anniversary of Israel’s statehood by attending the joint session of Congress with President Isaac Herzog.  

“In a world where antisemitism and acts of violence against Jewish people are commonplace, we must support our Jewish friends and declare our steadfast support for the nation of Israel.

Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East and the relationship we share is indispensable. With the world watching, we must send a clear message to Hamas, Islamist Jihadists, the Lion’s Den, and those that fund them that the United States stands with Israel today, tomorrow, and always.

When Israel is safer, America is safer. When Israel is stronger, we are stronger. I unequivocally support our friend and ally, Israel.”

The resolution passed by a vote of 412-9.
