I am closely monitoring the escalating situation in the Middle East.
Iran can never get nuclear weapons, and its sponsorship of terror pose a grave danger to the state of Israel and global peace.
We must stand united with our allies, support our military personnel, and push for lasting security in the region.
Three things are true tonight:
Iran is the aggressor.
Israel is defending its people — and has every right to.
It would be a grave miscalculation to test our U.S. forces.
I stand firmly behind Israel’s right to defend itself. Iran has long funded terror groups who killed Americans and has moved to develop nuclear weapons to aim at Israel.
If Israel’s strikes set back Iran’s nuclear program, we’ll all be safer. The White House must ensure the safety of U.S. civilians, diplomats and military in the region and the U.S. must support Israel’s defense. We must always work closely with our allies to protect American interests.
Iran must never be allowed to obtain a usable nuclear weapon. The Mullahs in Tehran refused to dismantle their nuclear program. Now it must be destroyed. Our prayers and unwavering support are with Israeli Forces. America Stands With Israel🇺🇸🇮🇱
I am devastated and heartbroken to learn Omer Neutra was killed by Hamas on 10/7.
He was 21. From Long Island. I’ve met with his family. They're incredible people who fought with determination for Omer.
I won't stop fighting to bring Omer’s remains and the 101 hostages home.
This Thanksgiving, I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve the people of New Jersey! Let’s continue to work together to build a brighter future. Wishing everyone a warm and joyful holiday.
The Antisemitic attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam are despicable and echo dark moments in history when Jews were persecuted.
We've been in touch with Israeli and Dutch officials and appreciate Dutch authorities’ commitment to holding the perpetrators accountable.
We must relentlessly fight Antisemitism, wherever it emerges.
It's a great day to be in Nevada to support my friend @RosenforNevada!
The path to holding the Democratic Senate Majority in 2024 runs through Nevada and we need all hands on deck to re-elect Jacky.

Threatening to cut off American support for Israel as it confronts Iran and its proxies on seven fronts weakens our ally, undermines American interests, and sends a dangerous message to our common enemies about U.S. support for our democratic allies.
Throughout this war, Israel has surged aid into Gaza, including food, medicine, and water. It opened crossings and worked to provide safe havens for civilians. No military has confronted a war environment like Gaza, and Israel routinely takes unprecedented steps to preserve and safeguard Palestinian lives, including broadcasting its moves and giving up the element of surprise. As it continues to operate in an extremely dangerous and difficult environment, Israel today said it will respond to the concerns raised by the United States.
At the direction of the President Biden, @SecDef authorized the deployment of a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery and associated crew of U.S. military personnel to Israel to help bolster Israel's air defenses.
