U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has issued a statement condemning the recent terrorist attacks against Israel. In his statement, McConnell emphasizes the need for solidarity with Israel as it defends its sovereignty and its citizens against the evil perpetrated by Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and their patrons in Tehran.

McConnell emphasizes that the terrorist violence in Israel is not an isolated incident but part of a larger concerted effort by terrorists that poses a threat not only to Israel but also to the United States, its partners in the Middle East, and free societies around the world. He states, "Terror on Israeli soil is only the sharpest edge of a concerted terrorist effort that threatens the United States, our partners in the Middle East, and free societies across the world."

The Senate Republican Leader highlights the role of Iran in supporting the terrorists responsible for the ongoing war against Israel. He points out that Iran, the same state that is providing lethal drones to Russia to attack Ukraine, must face consequences for its actions. McConnell warns against the failure to support friends under attack, whether in Kyiv or Tel Aviv, as it would only embolden Iran, the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism, and other authoritarian regimes.

McConnell's statement underscores the importance of American leadership and Western solidarity in the face of terrorism. He states, "Failure to support friends under attack – in Kyiv or Tel Aviv – will only embolden the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism and fellow authoritarians who watch closely for a weakening of American leadership and Western solidarity."

As the situation in Israel continues to unfold, the international community must heed McConnell's call to stand in solidarity with Israel and condemn the vicious attacks against civilian populations. The threat posed by terrorism knows no borders, and it is crucial for democracies and free societies to unite against this common enemy.

In this trying time, McConnell's statement serves as a reminder of the importance of unwavering support for Israel and the need to confront those who perpetrate acts of terror.
