U.S. Congressman Michael McCaul (R-Texas), along with Chairman Mark E. Green, MD (R-Tenn.) and other committee Republicans, has sent a letter to President Biden expressing condemnation for the recent terrorist attacks on Israel by Iran-backed Hamas. The letter also expresses concern over the Biden administration's actions and inactions on Iran.

In the letter, the members of the House Committee on Homeland Security emphasize their unwavering commitment to Israel and assert Israel's right to sovereignty and self-defense. They express their support for Israel in the face of these heinous attacks, which have targeted innocent civilians, women, children, and the elderly. The members mourn the lives lost, hope for a swift recovery for the wounded, and pray for the safe return of those taken hostage by Hamas terrorists.

The letter also raises concerns about the administration's recent actions, particularly the decision to release $6 billion in frozen funds to the Iranian regime on the anniversary of September 11. The members argue that the Iranian regime, as the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, was involved in plotting and approving the attacks on Israel.

In conclusion, the members urge President Biden to re-examine his actions and inactions on Iran and its terrorist proxies. They call for immediate assistance to Israel in responding to these terrorists and expect the administration's actions to align with its stated support for the State of Israel.

The full text of the letter can be found on the committee's website.

This condemnation of the terrorist attacks on Israel and the expression of concern over the administration's dealings with Iran highlight the ongoing tensions in the Middle East. The congressman and his Republican colleagues are committed to standing with Israel and ensuring its right to defend itself against such acts of terror. The letter serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining strong alliances and taking decisive action against those who support terrorism.
