ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA IN THE MEDIA ZOA Cited Supporting Florida’s Senators Urging Biden to Help Israel Defend Itself From Iran (APRIL 12, 2022 / FLORIDA DAILY) Last week, Florida Republican U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio and Rick Scott joined nine Republicans in the U.S. Senate in sending a letter to President Joe Biden urging his administration to provide Israel with the military capabilities it needs to defend itself from a nuclear-armed Iran. The letter is supported by the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA), Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC), and the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA). The letter is below. Dear President Biden, We write to urge you to provide Israel with the military capabilities it needs to defend itself and prevent Iran from achieving a nuclear-weapons capability. As you know, Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal, its support for terrorism, and its other destabilizing activities pose grave threats to the United States and our allies and partners in the Middle East. The Iranian regime arms the Houthis in Yemen with the missiles and drones that they use to attack civilian targets in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Iran equips Hezbollah and Hamas with tens of thousands of rockets, including the more than 4,000 rockets which Hamas fired at Israeli civilians last May. Last month, Iran escalated its attacks against Americans in Iraq, firing a dozen ballistic missiles from Iranian soil at the U.S. consulate in Erbil. Meanwhile, your administration appears intent on striking a new nuclear deal with Iran that will provide the regime with a pathway to nuclear weapons. A nuclear-armed Iran would have major negative regional implications. It would put at risk the existence of the State of Israel and the governments of our Arab allies, destroy America’s position in the Middle East, and ultimately threaten the U.S. homeland. A course-correction is necessary. Read More Share This Email Share This Email Share This Email In Case You Missed It... You can find information on more of President Biden's appointments HERE.
