Boehner Supports Resolution Reaffirming Ties Between United States and Israel, Condemning Hamas

Contact: Michael Steel, Kevin Smith, Steve Forde, 202-225-4000; all with John Boehner's Office

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 /Standard Newswire/ -- House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today issued the following statement supporting a measure to reaffirm the alliance between the United States and Israel and condemn the terrorist group Hamas' violent attacks against the country:

"The United States has stood with our Israeli allies for more than six decades, and we stand strongly with them during the current conflict.  Hamas' decision to break the ceasefire agreement last month in order to launch violent attacks against Israel is one that cannot be tolerated.  Congress overwhelmingly supports Israel's right to defend itself and its continuation as a democratic Jewish state.  In the interest of long-term and long-sought peace in the Middle East, it is time for Hamas to end the violence and honor the ceasefire agreement with Israel."
