He underscored the utter horror of that day and how Israel needs to protect itself and end the terror threat posed by Hamas. Read more »

Today’s ruling by the so-called ‘International Court of Justice’ reaffirms that the UN discriminates against Israel. They have consistently denied Israel’s legitimate security needs and the right to defend her people. The fact this decision came mere hours after an unprecedented fatal drone strike on Tel Aviv, while more than 120 hostages remain held captive in Gaza by Hamas and 60,000 Israelis are still displaced due to terror attacks from Hezbollah, further demonstrates the ICJ is not, and never has been, interested in seeking true justice. The discussion about the borders of a future Palestinian state should be part of a two-state solution negotiated by Israelis and Palestinians. However, no path forward exists until Hamas releases the hostages and lays down its arms, so that Israelis can live in a safe and secure environment free from another terrorist threat from Hamas.

“As co-chairs of the Interparliamentary Task Force to Combat Online Antisemitism, we commend Meta's recent decision to accurately classify the abuse of the term 'Zionist' as a proxy for antisemitic hate and incitement of violence against Jews on their platforms. We are proud to have advocated for this hard- fought victory since the founding of the Task Force in 2020 through letters, hearings, roundtables, and meetings with Meta executive leadership.

For far too long, the United States did not live up to the commitments we made to all servicemembers in exchange for their sacrifice and service to our nation. That so many were forced out, were dishonorably discharged or even faced court martial, was a harsh injustice that must be righted. Read more »

President Biden's historic immigration announcement will improve countless Dreamers’ and American mixed-status families’ lives, while bolstering our competitiveness against our rivals Read more »

When the time came for me to inspect a postal facility, to do a walk through, to drop by and really see what was going on there in my district, I was denied – not once, but twice. That’s simply unacceptable. We are Members of Congress. We do oversee the Postal Service. And when there is an issue, that service cannot be an impenetrable forcefield. They do not have the right to block access to us or to our staff to conduct the proper oversight. Read more »

It has been three decades since the tragic AMIA Jewish Center bombing, yet there is still no justice for the 85 victims, the hundreds of injured, and countless people who were traumatized. With antisemitism on the rise around the world, this attack on Argentina’s thriving Jewish community must not go unanswered. Congressmen Diaz-Balart, Espaillat, Gonzales, and I are proud to honor the victims of this attack and champion justice for their loved ones. Read more »
