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.”
