Senator Rubio to Secretary Blinken: Stop Undermining the Jewish State of Israel

Florida Senator Marco Rubio sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken saying to stop undermining the Jewish State of Israel, regarding the Biden-Harris administration’s recent decision to sanction Israelis.




Since October 7, 2023, Israel, our strongest ally in the Middle East, has withstood various terrorist attacks from Iran and its proxies, including Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, and others.

The Republican Senator said that instead of standing by Jerusalem, the Biden-Harris administration has taken steps to hamper Israel, emboldening our enemies.

“Israel has a functioning judicial system that is fully capable of prosecuting crimes committed within its borders,” Florida Senator Marco Rubio wrote. “Instead of allowing Israel to carry out their duty to investigate and prosecute any alleged crimes, this administration continues to insert itself, in what many could only surmise as appeasing the progressives in the party.”

One of these counterproductive actions is sanctions on Israelis, according to the Republican.

“Israel has consistently sought peace with the Palestinians,” Senator Rubio wrote. “It is unfortunate that the Palestinians, whether it be the Palestinian Authority or FTOs such as Hamas, have rejected such overtures. Israelis rightfully living in their historic homeland are not the impediment to peace; the Palestinians are. That the Biden-Harris Administration would sanction Israeli entities as Israel fights a war against terror is not lost on our adversaries, such as Iran.”

Instead, the Republican Florida Senator wants the Democratic Biden-Harris administration to “show strength and clarity against all those who threaten Israel,” saying anything else would be a failure.
