Congressman Tom Price (R-GA) issued the following statement in response to the damaging rhetoric used toward Israel by members of the Obama administration.

“Even close allies will at times have their differences, but the Obama administration’s adversarial posture toward Israel defies understanding,” said Congresman Price. “The combination of rebukes for Israel and conciliatory words for her enemies sends a very dangerous signal to the world. One has to wonder whether folks in the White House understand just how much damage this type of rhetoric is doing. Isolating Israel will make the goal of peace in the Middle East absolutely impossible. If members of the Obama administration believe otherwise, the likes of Hamas and Ahmadinejad will quickly disabuse them of their false notions. It’s time the White House stopped condemning our allies and started aggressively cracking down on those who sponsor terrorist groups and are ruthlessly pursuing nuclear weapons.”
