Carlos Gimenez: Biden Administration&#8217;s Weakness is Resulting in Global \u200cInstability<\/h2>\n<p>During \u200can\u200c appearance on\u2062 Mornings with Maria Bartiromo, Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL) expressed his concerns\u2063 about \u2062the current state of\u2064 foreign affairs, attributing it \u2063to the &#8220;weakness&#8221; of the Biden administration. Gimenez specifically\u2063 addressed the conflict between Hamas and\u2064 Israel, highlighting the need for\u2064 stronger actions against \u2062Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Gimenez acknowledged the administration&#8217;s efforts in freezing $6 billion of \u200cIranian funds in a \u200cSouth Korean bank, but emphasized the importance of\u200d imposing additional \u200bsanctions to\u200c prevent any revenue\u200d from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/flashback-biden-officials-admit-palestinian-aid-money-likely-to-benefit-hamas-free-beacon-reports\/\" title=\"FLASHBACK: Biden Officials Acknowledge Palestinian Aid Funds May Support Hamas, Free Beacon Reveals.\">reaching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lawmakers-consider-enacting-statute-to-increase-punishments-for-domestic-terrorism\/\" title=\"Lawmakers consider enacting statute to increase punishments for domestic terrorism\">terrorist organizations<\/a><\/a>. He criticized the lax approach towards sanctions, which has allowed Iran&#8217;s \u2063oil revenues to\u200d skyrocket, directly\u200b funding groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, it \u200djust shows the incompetency of this particular administration. And it shows the incompetency all the way around,&#8221; Gimenez \u200dexpressed. &#8220;The problem is that there has been \u2063\u2014 we\u2019ve been lax, this administration has been lax\u200b on the sanctions, \u2062and Iran\u2019s oil revenues have shot, \u200dskyrocketed some 70%. That directly funds these kinds of \u2062activities: Hamas, Hezbollah. And so we\u2019re seeing the results of weakness, weakness\u2063 around the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Gimenez further\u2064 speculated that Iran is funding Hamas, pointing to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-carries-out-airstrike-against-iranian-backed-militia-target-in-syria-officials-say\/\" title=\"U.S. Carries Out Airstrike Against Iranian-Backed Militia Target in Syria, Officials Say\">recent rocket attacks<\/a> and infiltration \u2062into \u2062Israel during the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah. The\u2064 ongoing conflict has resulted in a significant\u200d loss of lives, including 27 U.S. citizens \u200dand approximately\u200d 150 individuals taken hostage.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;And so, Iran is \u200bthe cancer of the Middle East. We need to take care\u2062 of Iran. We can\u2019t coddle Iran.\u200b We have to get stronger with Iran,&#8221;\u2062 Gimenez\u200d emphasized. &#8220;We have to put in place more sanctions against Iran to really \u2064cripple them and cripple\u200c their economy, because if we let them go, they\u2019re going\u2062 to continue to fund\u2062 these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-border-threat-so-taboo-that-few-dare-speak-of-it\/\" title=\"A Border Threat So Taboo That Few Dare Speak Of It\">terrorist groups<\/a>. Their\u200b sole aim is the destruction of Israel, and we can never, never \u2062let that happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Gimenez also highlighted the timing of global conflicts, suggesting that it is &#8220;not a coincidence&#8221; to witness Hamas attacking Israel and Russia attacking Ukraine during President \u2064Biden&#8217;s first\u200d term in office. As someone who fled Cuba due to the rise of communism, Gimenez brings a unique \u2063perspective\u200c to the discussion. He currently serves on several \u200ccommittees, including the House Armed Services Committee, the Homeland Security Committee, and the Select Committee on China, granting him access to classified information.<\/p>\n<p>For more\u200d information, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">click here<\/a> to visit The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u200c In\u2063 what ways does the lack of a \u200bstrong response to China&#8217;s aggression in the Indo-Pacific region contribute to global\u200b instability<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Minishing\u200d the impact of \u2064previous economic restrictions.\u2063<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Gimenez expressed \u2062his concerns \u200cabout\u200c the rising global instability\u2064 as a result of the Biden administration&#8217;s weakness in \u200cdealing with foreign affairs.\u200b He argued that the lack\u200b of a strong stance against Iran has emboldened terrorist \u2062organizations like Hamas to act with impunity. The\u2063 recent conflict between Hamas\u2064 and Israel, in\u2064 which thousands\u2064 of rockets\u2062 were \u2063fired at Israeli civilians, is a direct result of the \u2062administration&#8217;s failure to take decisive action against Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Gimenez emphasized the need \u2064for\u2063 stronger\u200d actions against Iran, citing its support \u200bfor terrorist organizations and its pursuit of\u2062 nuclear weapons as major\u2062 threats to global security. He called \u2064for\u2063 the Biden administration to reimpose sanctions \u200don Iran and work towards a comprehensive\u2063 agreement that\u200d addresses Iran&#8217;s nuclear ambitions and sponsorship of\u200d terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>The congressman also criticized the administration&#8217;s \u2063approach to other\u200b global issues, such as \u200cChina&#8217;s aggression in the Indo-Pacific region. He argued that the lack of a strong response to China&#8217;s military activities and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/israel-war-rep-carlos-gimenez-blasts-biden-administrations-incompetency-on-iran-policy\/\" title=\"Rep.

He emphasized the importance of standing up to countries like\u2062 Iran and China and\u200b holding them accountable\u200b for their actions.\u2064 Only through strong leadership and decisive action can the \u200bUnited States\u2062 maintain stability and \u200densure the safety\u200b of its allies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
