Wagner Slams Biden for Withholding Aid to Israel

Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Ann Wagner (R-MO), Vice Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the following statement:

"Joe Biden is once again abandoning our strongest ally in the Middle East by withholding vital aid to Israel. These weapons are critical to ensuring Israel can fully dismantle Hamas, a terrorist organization whose sole goal is to destroy the Jewish people. It seems clear President Biden is making decisions based on politics, and not what is in the best interests of the U.S. or Israel. The withholding of weapons strengthens Hamas' position, not just militarily, but also from a negotiating standpoint. The Biden Administration must support Israel as they fight for their very existence, not cave to the radically liberal wing of their party who are taking over buildings on college campuses. This reckless decision by Joe Biden not only hurts Israel, but it also harms American workers and those in Missouri whose jobs depend on these sales."
