WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Rick Scott released the below statement as cross-border fighting between Israel and terrorist militant groups, including Hamas, in Gaza continue to intensify.

Senator Rick Scott said, “While President Trump took unprecedented action to stand with Israel, under President Biden, rockets are raining down on our great ally. It’s time for Biden to stand up and make it clear that the U.S. stands with Israel as it defends its people from these reprehensible terrorist attacks. These Palestinian terrorists need to know acts of aggression toward Israel will never be tolerated. President Biden should take immediate action to remind these terrorists and the world of the United States’ strong and unwavering support of the Israeli people.”
