Team,

I am simply devastated by the horrific Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel. Terrorists brutally murdered more than 1,000 people in Israel, including 11 Americans according to President Biden. Another 150 are being held hostage in Gaza. October 7th was the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust.

The United States must continue to stand with and support our steadfast ally, and Israel must be able to defend itself, destroy the terrorist network, and protect the safety of its people.

I am proud to be an original cosponsor of a bipartisan resolution that reaffirms our support for Israel, condemns Hamas, and pledges to assist with emergency resupply and other security, diplomatic, and intelligence support as needed.

My thoughts are with those who lost loved ones, the wounded, and those who are being held hostage. May peace be with them.

Chris
