He said that the rebirth of Israel is nothing less than a modern miracle.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy said that the U.S.\u2013Israel relationship is as important as ever, and he is proud that the United States recognized Israel 11 minutes after it declared its independence, being the first country to do so. He added that the United States cherishes this unbreakable bond between the two nations.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5233528\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/05\/01\/id5233528-2023-05-01-20.46.00-1200x800.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (L) welcomes U.S. Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (C) to the Israeli Knesset, seated beside Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana (R), in Jerusalem, Israel, on May 1, 2023.

He added that Iran wants to entrench missiles in Syria, empowers the terrorist organization Hezbollah in Lebanon, and is fueling a brutal civil war in Yemen. He said that Iran seeks to encircle Israel with hostile forces.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the turmoil in the Middle East can be traced back to Iran, McCarthy said, which continues to fund terrorism, arm its proxy militias, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-nominee-claims-iran-not-pursuing-nuclear-weapons-contrary-to-evidence\/\" title=\"Biden Nominee Claims Iran Not Pursuing Nuclear Weapons, Contrary to Evidence\">pursue nuclear weapons<\/a>. The Iranian regime cannot be allowed to succeed, he said, adding that in order to deter the dangerous behaviors of the Iranian regime, the United States and Israel must continue to stand together.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy said that as long he is Speaker, America will continue to support full funding for security assistance in Israel, referring to Iran\u2019s precision-guided missiles, drones, terror tunnels, and cyber attacks. He added that they must also remain resolute in their commitment that Iran will never acquire nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<p>The first and most urgent challenge is the joint effort of Israel and the United States to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his address to the Knesset.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid said that while there are disagreements with the governing coalition, there is a consensus in Israel about the danger the Iranian regime poses. He said that they all agree that Iran must not develop nuclear weapons and that they must work together with the United States to make sure that this nightmare does not become a reality.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5233530\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/05\/01\/id5233530-2023-05-01-20.46.11-1200x800.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> U.S. Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (L) is seated beside Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana (R) at the Israeli Knesset, in Jerusalem, Israel, on May 1, 2023.
