"Jews have the unequivocal right to live safely and securely in the world's only Jewish state. And Israel – like any other sovereign nation – has an absolute right to defend itself and its people. I will continue to do everything in my power to ensure that Congress maintains its strong, bipartisan commitment to Israel's survival, sovereignty, and security during this trying time." - Congressman Steny Hoyer
