The resolution reiterates the United States\u2019 commitment to \u201censure the forever survival of Israel; destroy the ability of Hamas to reconstitute any leadership role in the region; and safely release and return all United States hostages.\u201d\n\nA year ago today, Iran-backed Hamas terrorists launched a heinous attack on Israel, killing approximately 1,200 individuals and taking 251 hostages, in addition to launching thousands of rockets toward Israel. One year later, 97 hostages still remain unaccounted for, including seven Americans.\n\n\u201cOne year ago, terrorists attacked, kidnapped, and brutally murdered innocent people in Israel, including Americans,\u201d said Senator Tuberville. \u201cWhen the United States is strong, the world is a safer place. Under President Trump, we had historic peace in the Middle East and no new foreign wars. Now, under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, one of our closest allies is being attacked on all sides and we are on the brink of World War III. The United States must continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel as they defend themselves in the face of unspeakable evil from these terrorists.\u201d\n\nJoining Sen. Tuberville are U.S. Senators John Barrasso (R-WY), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), John Boozman (R-AR), Mike Braun (R-IN), Katie Britt (R-AL), Ted Budd (R-NC), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Susan Collins (R-ME), John Cornyn (R-TX), Tom Cotton (R-AR), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Steve Daines (R-MT), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Deb Fischer (R-NE), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Josh Hawley (R-MO), John Hoeven (R-ND), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), Ron Johnson (R-WI), John Kennedy (R-LA), James Lankford (R-OK), Mike Lee (R-UT), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Jerry Moran (R-KS), Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Rand Paul (R-KY), Pete Ricketts (R-NE), Jim Risch (R-ID), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Mike Rounds (R-SD), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Eric Schmitt (R-MO), Rick Scott (R-FL), Tim Scott (R-SC), Dan Sullivan (R-AK), John Thune (R-SD), Thom Tillis (R-NC), J.D.

As a former educator and coach, he believes that teachers and professors have a grave responsibility to provide moral clarity to their students. Senator Tuberville believes that the Hamas-backed terror attacks on innocent Israeli and American citizens are morally repugnant and that support for Israel must be resolute.\n\nFollowing the attacks last October, Senator Tuberville introduced and joined several pieces of legislation in support of Israel. He cosponsored the Emergency Resupply for IRON DOME Act of 2023, Revoke Iranian Funding Act, Israel Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2023, United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNWRA) Accountability and Transparency Act, and No Bailouts for Campus Criminals Act.\n\nREAD MORE:\n\nTuberville: Hamas Needs to be Totally Wiped Out\n\nICYMI: Joe Biden Talks, Tuberville Takes Action to Support Israel\n\nTuberville: \u201cSupport Israel and Supply Israel\n\nTuberville: Revoke Visas of Hamas Sympathizers\n\nTuberville, Colleagues Condemn \u201cFrom the River to the Sea\u201d Slogan as an Antisemitic Call for the Destruction of Israel\n\nTuberville, Colleagues Condemn Biden\u2019s Unprecedented Halt on Ammunition, Weapons to Israel\n\nTuberville Continues to Sound Alarm About Rise of Anti-Semitism on College Campuses\n\nTuberville, Colleagues Condemn Anti-Israel Protests, Praise UNC Fraternity Heroes\n\nTuberville Statement on Confirmed Reports of Biden Administration Delaying Weapon Sales to Israel\n\nTuberville Holds State Department Accountable for Withholding Critical Weapons to Israel\n\nWe have no leadership from Biden: Sen.
