19 GOP Governors Demand Action from Biden on Israel, Criticize Weakness
Nineteen Republican Governors Demand Action from President Joe Biden in Response to Terrorist Attacks in Israel
Nineteen Republican governors have sent a powerful letter to President Joe Biden, urging him to take immediate action following the heinous terrorist attacks that occurred in Israel one week ago.
The attacks, carried out by Palestinian Islamic terrorists with Hamas, resulted in the tragic deaths of over 1,300 Israelis and more than two dozen Americans. Additionally, over 3,000 individuals were injured in these horrific acts of violence.
In their letter, the governors unequivocally condemned the attacks and expressed their unwavering support for Israel in this new war in the Middle East.
“Your administration’s initial response—including a call for a ceasefire—created dangerous confusion that has only further emboldened state-sponsors of terror and their henchmen to continue attacking Israel,” they stated. “Unfortunately, this type of international chaos and violence is a direct result of your administration’s appeasement-first foreign policy.”
The governors called on President Biden to change course and demonstrate American strength in this critical moment.
- Firstly, they urged the President to prioritize the protection of Americans who are still in harm’s way. They highlighted that 27 American citizens were murdered by Hamas terrorists, with an unknown number of Americans being held hostage. The governors expressed concern over the lack of transparency in the administration’s efforts to secure the release of these individuals, questioning whether maximum energy and diligence were being applied. They emphasized the need for the safe return of these Americans to U.S. soil and requested prompt communication of any further losses of American life to the states, so that support and assistance could be provided to affected families.
- Secondly, the governors called for unwavering support for Israel in its defense against the Iran-backed terror group Hamas. They stressed the importance of leveraging American power in the international community to ensure that Israel has the necessary freedom to take appropriate action.
- Thirdly, they demanded an end to the appeasement and empowerment of Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. They specifically called for an immediate freeze of the $6 billion ransom payment made to Iran and an expansion of sanctions against the Iranian regime. The governors expressed concern that the relaxation of sanctions and the ransom payment had provided Iran with additional means and confidence to support terrorism. They also urged the immediate cessation of foreign aid to Hamas- or Hezbollah-controlled territories, emphasizing the need to prevent U.S. tax dollars from falling into the hands of terrorists.
- Lastly, the governors urged President Biden to take decisive action to close the U.S. southern border in order to protect Americans from dangerous individuals entering the country.
The letter was signed by 18 Republican governors, including Kay Ivey of Alabama, Mike Dunleavy of Alaska, Sarah Sanders of Arkansas, Ron DeSantis of Florida, Brian Kemp of Georgia, Brad Little of Idaho, Eric Holcomb of Indiana, Kim Reynolds of Iowa, Tate Reeves of Mississippi, Joe Lombardo of Nevada, Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, Doug Burgum of North Dakota, Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma, Henry McMaster of South Carolina, Kristi Noem of South Dakota, Bill Lee of Tennessee, Greg Abbott of Texas, Glenn Youngkin of Virginia, and Mark Gordon of Wyoming.
