House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) has released a statement condemning the recent Hamas attacks against Israel. In his statement, Chairman Arrington describes the attacks as "horrific and barbaric" and emphasizes the need to eliminate evil.

According to Chairman Arrington, Israel's greatest security threat is Iran, which supports Hamas and Hezbollah, both of which are considered terrorist proxies. He argues that this threat has only intensified under the Biden Administration's policy of appeasement and retreat from the Maximum Pressure campaign against Iran.

Chairman Arrington believes that weakness invites aggression and criticizes what he perceives as the flawed and feckless policies of the current administration. He claims that these policies have provoked aggression and emboldened adversaries. In response to these attacks, he emphasizes the importance of demonstrating zero tolerance for terrorists and their supporters, while standing firmly with Israel, a longstanding ally.

In conclusion, Chairman Arrington's statement condemns the Hamas attacks against Israel and calls for a strong stance against terrorism. He urges the United States to stand unwaveringly with Israel in the face of these threats.
