WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) has expressed his support for Israel in its fight against terrorism, particularly in response to the recent attacks launched by Hamas and other terrorist groups. As an original co-sponsor of H. Res. 771, a resolution standing with Israel, Guthrie voted in favor of providing crucial assistance to the nation.

In a statement, Guthrie emphasized the importance of standing by Israel, stating, "This evening I was proud to vote in support of Israel as they stand up in the face of terrorism and defend themselves from Hamas. I will always stand with our closest ally in the Middle East and I fully support Israel’s right to defend their homeland."

The congressman also highlighted the historical relationship between the United States and Israel, stating, "America was the first country to recognize Israel as a nation in 1948, and House Republicans continue to support our Israeli allies."

The resolution, which Guthrie supported, reaffirms the United States' commitment to Israel's security and condemns the actions of Hamas and other terrorist organizations. By voting in favor of H. Res. 771, Guthrie joins a bipartisan effort to provide Israel with the necessary resources and support to defend itself against ongoing threats.

As the situation in the Middle East continues to evolve, the United States remains committed to its partnership with Israel. The vote by Congressman Guthrie and his fellow legislators demonstrates the enduring bond between the two nations and their shared commitment to peace and security in the region.
