CONG. McCAUL: Standing With Israel Requires a Stronger Biden Stance on Iran

"It's time for the administration to put action behind those words by taking a stronger stance with Iran."
By Congressman Michael McCaul

Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – The world watched in horror last week as Iran-backed Hamas terrorists carried out a heinous terrorist attack against Israel. Our hearts are heavy seeing the abhorrent crimes committed against innocent people, including children and the elderly, as thousands have been brutally murdered or injured.

We are witnessing evil in its truest form.

This week, I introduced a bipartisan resolution standing with Israel as it defends itself against these barbaric attacks and condemning the despicable violence from Hamas. With over 420 cosponsors — a number almost unheard of in Congress — it’s clear Congress and the American people stand firmly united with our ally Israel.

I also joined House Homeland Security Committee Republicans in sending a letter to the Biden White House expressing our deep concern over their actions and inactions on Iran, which was involved in both plotting and approving the attacks on Israel.
