Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) passionately called for robust aid and solidarity with Israel during a recent Senate floor address, characterizing the recent conflict with Hamas as “a battle between good and evil.” The Texas Republican emphasized the urgency of addressing the National Security Supplemental Appropriations bill, highlighting its crucial role in providing relief to Israel and additional support for Ukraine, Indo-Pacific deterrence, and border security.
Senator Cornyn framed the conflict not just as a matter concerning Israel but as a broader effort to thwart the ambitions of Iran. He underscored Iran’s extensive support for various terrorist proxies across the Middle East, positioning the conflict as a pivotal moment in curbing Iran’s influence.

Senator Cornyn concluded by highlighting the Senate’s responsibility to act swiftly in providing assistance to Israel, stating that ensuring support for the United States’ top ally in the Middle East should be a priority as the new year begins.
In his remarks, Senator Cornyn aimed to convey the gravity of the situation in the Middle East, calling for decisive action to support Israel against terrorist threats.
