Statement from Rep. Jim Davis on Comments of Iraqi PM

 

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Jim Davis issued the following statement after Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s address before a Joint Session of Congress.

            “Today, I was disappointed that Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki failed to join leaders worldwide in condemning Hezbollah’s terrorist attacks on Israel.  Although the Prime Minister criticized terrorism in general, it is critical that he take a public stand in opposition to Hezbollah’s terrorist activities.  Israel has an undeniable right to defend its people, and as violence in the Middle East escalates, claiming the lives of innocent civilians on both sides of Israel’s border with Lebanon, world leaders must unite in calling for Hezbollah to disarm.”
