During this week’s broadcast of FNC’s “Sunday Night in America,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) criticized the Democratic Party’s approach to supporting Israel in the wake of Iran’s attacks on Israeli territory.
“Given what Prime Minister Netanyahu is and isn’t saying to the Iranian mullahs, how do you view relations with Israel under this administration?” Fox News Channel host Trey・Mr. Gordy asked.
“Well, Trey, through no fault of yours, the relationship between President Biden and Prime Minister Netanyahu doesn’t seem very good,” Cotton replied. “It doesn’t seem like the relationship between the Democratic Party and Israel is very good right now with pro-Hamas proxies like Rashida Tlaib roaming the House of Representatives. We have Chris Van Hollen in the Senate, who is very vocal about Israel. demands that aid be conditioned as if it were a Third World tyranny.
“But what I can say is that the relationship between the United States and Israel is very strong and will continue to be very strong, because both ordinary Americans and officials from both countries know that Israel is a great ally. , because we recognize it as a powerful military that strengthens our own power and protects our own interests in the Middle East.”And also because we recognize our nation’s deep cultural, religious, and historical roots. , we share political ties and are exactly the kind of allies we should want,” he continued. “So whatever the relationship between the president and the prime minister, the American-Israel relationship is outstanding and rock-solid.”
