, 7/20/2006

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Mike Conaway (R-TX) made the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution that reaffirms America’s steadfast support for the State of Israel:

“The unprovoked attacks against Israeli soldiers and innocent civilians by Hezbollah are horrifying and deplorable. Israel has the right to defend itself against Hezbollah and take action to eradicate terrorists operating within and across its borders. Hezbollah has consistently sponsored and initiated terrorist attacks spanning the past 24 years. It is essential that we support the right to defend against these heinous attacks and also condemn the state sponsors of terrorism. My condolences go out to all the families of the innocent victims of this recent violence.”

Congressman Conaway is a member of the House Armed Services Committee.
