Today, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) released a statement addressing the recent Israeli military actions in Lebanon. He highlighted the ongoing conflict involving Hezbollah and northern Israel.
"In the last 11 months, Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed terrorist organization, has launched thousands of rockets at northern Israel from Lebanon, forcing tens of thousands of Israelis to flee from their homes," Pfluger said. "Israel has the right to defend itself and its people from adversaries in the Middle East."
Pfluger shared his experiences working with the Israeli Defense Force during his time in the USAF. He emphasized his understanding of the technology used by adversaries against U.S. allies.
He also criticized current U.S. foreign policy: "The Biden-Harris Administration must end its strategy of appeasement toward Iran and its proxies that have prolonged this conflict." Pfluger concluded by affirming support for Israel: "We must continue standing with Israel as they fight for their freedom."
