Good plans to introduce\u2063 the Stand with Israel Resolution, expressing strong support for America&#8217;s close friend and denouncing \u2064calls for a ceasefire and the \u2063establishment of an independent state of Palestine.<\/p>\n<p>Good&#8217;s resolution has garnered support from 18 House \u2064Republican co-sponsors, many of whom are members of the conservative Freedom Caucus. These\u2062 lawmakers have been critical \u2063of the Biden administration&#8217;s approach \u2063to Israel.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Instead of unequivocally backing\u200d our most important ally in the Middle East, President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have undermined Israel&#8217;s efforts to defend itself by repeatedly suggesting there \u2062should be a ceasefire in \u200bGaza,&#8221; Good stated. He emphasized the need for the United States to continue supporting Israel as they defend themselves\u200b against Hamas terrorists who have targeted innocent civilians.<\/p>\n<p>Good expressed his \u200bpride in \u2064being joined by his colleagues in the House who stand with \u200bIsrael, \u200bhighlighting the absence of leadership\u2063 from \u2064the White House.<\/p>\n<h3>Co-sponsors on Good&#8217;s resolution include:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Andy\u200c Ogles (R-TN)<\/li>\n<li>Nancy Mace (R-SC)<\/li>\n<li>Ralph Norman (R-SC)<\/li>\n<li>Clay Higgins (R-LA)<\/li>\n<li>Bill Posey (R-FL)<\/li>\n<li>Doug LaMalfa (R-CA)<\/li>\n<li>Alex Mooney (R-WV)<\/li>\n<li>Byron Donalds (R-FL)<\/li>\n<li>Andrew Clyde (R-GA)<\/li>\n<li>Mary Miller (R-IL)<\/li>\n<li>Diana \u2063Harshbarger (R-TN)<\/li>\n<li>Randy Weber (R-TX)<\/li>\n<li>Josh Brecheen (R-OK)<\/li>\n<li>Gary Palmer (R-AL)<\/li>\n<li>Mike Ezell (R-MS)<\/li>\n<li>Joe Wilson (R-SC)<\/li>\n<li>Andy\u200c Biggs (R-AZ)<\/li>\n<li>Eric Burlison (R-MO)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This resolution follows a previous House resolution passed in support of Israel after Hamas attacked the Jewish state,\u2064 resulting in \u2062the loss of many lives. The \u200dmajority of lawmakers voted in favor of supporting Israel, with only a few members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus voting against it.<\/p>\n<p>One of the members who voted against the resolution was Rep.\u2063 Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), the only Palestinian American in Congress. Tlaib has been calling for a ceasefire and has \u2064been critical of the Biden administration&#8217;s \u200bsupport for Israel. She was\u200b previously censured by the House for \u200cher anti-Israel rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p>The House \u2064Republicans&#8217; resolution \u2062comes on the \u2064heels of Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; call for a ceasefire during a speech in Selma, Alabama. Harris criticized both \u200bIsrael \u200band Hamas, urging Israel to increase aid to Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>President \u200bJoe Biden\u2064 and his administration\u2063 have been strong supporters of Israel, but have recently shifted their focus\u200b to providing humanitarian aid for Palestinian civilians and calling for ceasefires. This shift is partly due to declining support from the \u2063Muslim American voting bloc, which was crucial to Biden&#8217;s \u2063campaign in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>A recent poll showed a significant decrease in Arab Americans planning \u2064to vote \u200bfor Biden, largely due to his support for Israel. The Biden campaign has lost key allies and supporters over the conflict, with\u2062 a growing movement to vote &#8220;uncommitted&#8221; in the primary.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Examiner has reached out to the Congressional Progressive Caucus for comment.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How does Marjorie Taylor \u2063Greene (R-GA)\u200b explain her opposition to the \u200destablishment of an independent state of Palestine?<\/h2>\n<p><span> <\/p>\n<li>Paul Gosar (R-AZ)<\/li>\n<li>Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)<\/li>\n<li>Scott Perry (R-PA)<\/li>\n<li>Diana Harshbarger (R-TN)<\/li>\n<li>Barry Moore (R-AL)<\/li>\n<li>Bob \u2064Gibbs (R-OH)<\/li>\n<li>Ben Cline (R-VA)<\/li>\n<li>Mary Miller (R-IL)<\/li>\n<li>Ronny \u2064Jackson (R-TX)<\/li>\n<li>Yvette Herrell (R-NM)<\/li>\n<li>Ted Budd \u200c(R-NC)<\/li>\n<li>Andy Harris (R-MD)<\/li>\n<li>Neal Dunn (R-FL)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These \u2064representatives are standing up for Israel and expressing their concern over the Biden administration&#8217;s handling of the conflict. They believe that a ceasefire\u2063 would only provide \u200ctemporary relief without addressing the underlying issues at hand.<\/p>\n<p>Good&#8217;s resolution also strongly opposes the establishment \u2064of an independent state of\u200c Palestine, \u200basserting that Israel has the right to defend its borders and protect its citizens. It argues that the establishment of a separate Palestinian state would further destabilize the region and undermine\u200b Israel&#8217;s security.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution highlights the shared values and\u2063 interests between\u2062 the United States and Israel, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a strong alliance. It asserts that Israel is the\u200b only democracy in the Middle East and a vital partner in the fight against terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>By \u200cintroducing this resolution, Good and his co-sponsors aim to send a\u2064 clear message of support to Israel and express their dissatisfaction with the Biden \u2062administration&#8217;s approach.\u200b They \u2062believe that it is crucial for the United States to stand firmly behind its ally and reject calls\u200b for a \u200cceasefire or the establishment of an independent Palestine.<\/p>\n<p>As the conflict continues, it remains to be \u200dseen how this resolution \u200cand the stance of the House Freedom Caucus will impact the broader discussion surrounding the\u200d Israel-Gaza conflict.\u2062 However, it is clear\u2063 that there are strong voices within Congress advocating for unwavering support for Israel and a more assertive approach to the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Good&#8217;s resolution serves\u200b as a reminder of the complex dynamics at play in the region and the various perspectives within the United States \u200cCongress. It underscores the importance of robust and respectful debate on matters of foreign policy and\u200b highlights\u200b the unique challenges faced by America&#8217;s closest ally in the Middle East.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good (R-VA) will introduce a resolution on Tuesday, expressing unwavering support for Israel.
