Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) joined Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and all Senate Republicans in fully condemning Hamas, calling for American hostages\u2019 safe return home and reaffirming U.S. support for an enduring, prosperous Israel.\n\n\u201cFor the past 12 months, the Israeli military has taken necessary actions to preserve its homeland and neutralize the threat of horrific Iran-backed, Hamas terrorism. In the face of ongoing Iranian aggression and rising antisemitism, the United States remains unwavering in our resolve to stand with Israel \u2013 our strongest ally in the Middle East,\u201d Grassley said.\n\n\u201cThis time last year, I woke up in the Middle East to the unbearable news that Israel was under attack by Iran-backed terrorists and Americans were being killed and taken hostage,\u201d Ernst said. \u201cI immediately traveled into Israel to show that our nation\u2019s friendship is unwavering, in good times and bad. Regardless of whether I have been in Jerusalem, Washington or Iowa, I have worked around the clock to hold the White House accountable to its \u2018ironclad\u2019 commitment, bring our hostages home, and cut off the source of terrorism in Tehran. One year since that day, as Israel remains under attack on all fronts, Senate Republicans stand united with our greatest ally in the Middle East.\u201d\n\nRead the resolution HERE.\n\nGrassley Stands with Israel:\n\nGrassley has long worked to maintain and fortify the United States\u2019 partnership with Israel. Since October 7, 2023, Grassley has led legislative efforts to reaffirm Israel\u2019s right to self-defense, counter Iran\u2019s terrorist regime and seek justice for victims of antisemitism.
