I’m so incredibly proud of this legacy I left jointly with @RepEliotEngel, to remember Jewish history. Thanks also to Jason Steinbaum from @HouseForeign for support & Israeli diplomat @Eyal_Naor who helped in translation. Also thanks to President Thaçi who endorsed location/idea.

Israel was right to recognize Kosovo, and I’m glad Prishtina put its embassy in Jerusalem. However, I’m deeply disappointed that President Vucic is willing to undermine relations with Israel just to chastise it for improving ties with Kosovo. https://t.co/5oOxx1Oub6

10 years ago, the United States delivered justice to Osama bin Laden who was responsible for murdering thousands of men, women, and children. We will never forget that bright September day that became one of the darkest in our history. https://t.co/mcFqN3HLjc

We are deeply saddened to hear of the tragedy that occurred at Mt. Meron in Israel. We mourn the lives lost, extend our deepest condolences to the families, and pray for the injured to recover quickly.

Thank you President Biden and the United States Congress for delivering critical assistance to the American people and helping the country recover from the pandemic.

Before I took office, I promised you that help was on the way. Today, I signed the American Rescue Plan into law, and can officially say: help is here.

Chair @RepEliotEngel releases report refuting @SecPompeo’s smears against former State Dept IG.

Charges against Steve Linick “were nothing more than an ugly smear meant to tarnish a good man’s reputation & justify the...firing of an independent watchdog.”
