Washington, D.C. — Rep. Barry Moore has shown his support for funding to protect Israel by voting in favor of H.R. 7217, the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, sponsored by Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA). This legislation allocates $17 billion for military assistance to our ally Israel and aims to ensure the safe return of American citizens affected by the attacks from Hamas on Israel.
The funds provided by this legislation are crucial for U.S. military operations in response to the attacks and to safeguard U.S. military personnel involved in counter-extremist missions in the region from drone and rocket attacks by Iranian-backed proxies.
Speaking about his decision to vote in favor of the bill, Rep. Barry Moore emphasized the importance of supporting Israel, stating, "Israel, our strategic ally for nearly 75 years, is working to defend itself against brazen terrorists who want to extinguish them. At least 1,400 Israelis and 32 Americans have lost their lives. For me, it’s as simple as 1, 2, 3 because Genesis 12:3 says, 'And I will bless them that bless Israel, and curse them that curse Israel.' It is imperative we support and supply Israel with resources and demonstrate strength on the world's stage in a time of grave danger."
The Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act aims to provide the necessary resources for Israel to effectively defend itself against terrorist threats. By standing with Israel, the United States sends a strong message of support and solidarity, not only to Israel but also to the international community. Rep. Moore's vote reflects the shared values and commitment to maintaining a strong alliance between the United States and Israel.
In recent times, Israel has faced significant challenges in the form of attacks from Hamas, a terrorist organization. These attacks have claimed the lives of both Israelis and Americans, highlighting the urgent need to bolster Israel's defense capabilities. The Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act addresses this need by ensuring that Israel has the necessary military assistance to protect its citizens and territory.
The funds allocated by the legislation will also contribute to the safe return of American citizens affected by the attacks. This demonstrates the United States' commitment to the well-being and safety of its citizens, even in times of international crisis.
The support for the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act from Rep. Barry Moore and other lawmakers underscores the bipartisan consensus on the importance of maintaining a strong relationship with Israel. This legislation not only provides financial assistance but also sends a clear message that the United States stands with Israel in its fight against terrorism.
As the bill moves forward, it is anticipated that it will receive widespread support from both sides of the aisle. The United States' commitment to the security and well-being of Israel remains steadfast, and the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act is a testament to this enduring alliance.
In conclusion, Rep. Barry Moore's support for funding to protect Israel demonstrates the commitment of the United States to stand by its allies in times of crisis. The passage of the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act is an important step towards ensuring the safety and security of Israel and its citizens. By providing the necessary resources, the United States reaffirms its commitment to the alliance with Israel and sends a strong message to those who seek to harm our allies.
