John,
Earlier this week, I traveled to Israel to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other government leaders in the wake of the recent rocket
attacks from Hamas.
In the worst violence in over two years, our friends in Israel faced eleven days of escalating conflict before a cease fire was eventually agreed to
in May.
As I told Prime Minister Netanyahu, I believe that Israel serves as the "eyes and ears" of the United States in this volatile region, and nobody does
more to protect America from radical Islam than our friends in Israel.
That's why I believe it's so important that the United States continues to stand strong with Israel against the radical Islamists of Hamas and the
nuclear threat of the mullahs in Iran.
I'm determined to assist the Israelis with restocking their Iron Dome defensive system that saved thousands of lives, and I'm continuing to seek a
better solution to block Iran's quest for nuclear weapons.
John, you may know about my support for our longstanding ally Israel. What I'd like to know is whether you join me in that support. Do you stand with Israel too?
Please provide your response
– it will take just a moment – and let me know if I can count on your support for the critical American-Israeli relationship.
Thanks,
Lindsey Graham
