Mister Speaker, I rise today in strong support of HR 6126, which provides security assistance to Israel, supports the security of our embassy personnel, enables the evacuation of us citizens, strengthens the ability of our industrial base to respond to this crisis. On October 7, Hamas terrorists carried out a barbaric attack on Israel that took the lives of more than 1400 innocent Israelis, including 32 American citizens. Mister Speaker, I stand firmly behind Israel's right to defend itself and destroy Hamas terrorist organization. The world will be a safer place once that organization is eliminated. (00:25–00:38)
