LOGAN CALLS ON HAYES TO MAKE CLEAR HER POSITION ON SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL AMIDST ONGOING WAR
FARMINGTON – Today, George Logan, Republican Candidate for Connecticut’s 5th Congressional District, released the following statement regarding concerns over federal support for Israel amidst the ongoing war in Gaza.
“Does Jahana Hayes support Israel or not, because the mixed signals she’s sending are a dangerous precedent at a time when our greatest ally in the Middle East is under attack by Iran and their proxies.”
“Just one week ago, Jahana Hayes was one of only 40 Members, representing less than 7% of Congress, to sign a letter calling to disarm Israel following the horrific accident killing World Central Kitchen aide workers, for which Israel took immediate responsibility and held those responsible accountable, which is more than what happened during the Biden Administration when ten civilians were killed in Kabul, including seven children.”
“Today, we’re grateful that Saturday’s attack on Israel by Iran was thwarted by a collaborative defense effort between Israel, the United States, and other allies, using weapons provided by the support Jahana Hayes just one week ago sought to end.”
“It shouldn’t take more than two days to condemn an attack on our allies, and supporting our allies means we take every opportunity we can to condemn those who seek to eradicate them.”
“Will Jahana Hayes continue to put conditions on the support offered to Israel through the House of Representatives foreign aid supplemental or will she retract her signature from last week’s letter and stand with Israel against Iran and their proxies?”
