Griffith Stands with Israel
Washington,
November 30, 2012 -
Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) issued the following statement in response to the United Nations vote to declare Palestine a ‘non-member state:’
“Ensuring a strong, safe Israel must remain a top priority of the United States even as we work to address pressing issues here at home. I am of the belief that an actual Palestinian state can only be achieved through direct negotiations, and fear that yesterday’s recognition will not help in that process. We must not permit the United States and her democratic ally Israel to be divided.”
