Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-3) today released the following statement condemning the Hamas terrorist attack against U.S.-ally Israel.

"The vicious, unprovoked attack against Israeli civilians is sickening. We stand with our ally as they defend themselves in war against the Hamas terrorists,” Rep. Luetkemeyer said. “At a time when the president’s actions have created a worldwide perception of American weakness, we must make it clear these attacks will not be tolerated.”

Background: Failing to lessen our dependence on foreign energy and prioritizing wokeness in the military, President Biden has weakened our reputation globally. Afghanistan has fallen to the Taliban, China has ramped up its aggression against Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the Uyghurs, Russia has invaded Ukraine, and now, Israel is under attack. We need leadership that will restore our status as the greatest fighting force in the world.
