On May 7, 2024, Congresswoman Ann Wagner (R-MO), Vice Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued a statement criticizing President Joe Biden for withholding aid to Israel.
Wagner stated, “Joe Biden is once again abandoning our strongest ally in the Middle East by withholding vital aid to Israel. These weapons are critical to ensuring Israel can fully dismantle Hamas, a terrorist organization whose sole goal is to destroy the Jewish people. It seems clear President Biden is making decisions based on politics, and not what is in the best interests of the U.S. or Israel."
She further asserted that this decision strengthens Hamas' position both militarily and from a negotiating standpoint. She called upon the Biden Administration to support Israel as they fight for their existence and criticized the administration for yielding to the radically liberal wing of their party.
“This reckless decision by Joe Biden not only hurts Israel but also harms American workers and those in Missouri whose jobs depend on these sales,” Wagner concluded.
