Rep. Marino Slams Obama Admin’s Refusal to Back Israel

Washington, D.C. — Last night, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H. Res. 11 objecting to the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334 as an obstacle to Israeli-Palestinian peace.

Rep. Tom Marino (PA-10) voted in favor of the resolution and released the following statement: 

“Throughout his time in office, President Obama has continually expressed contempt towards Israel, our strongest democratic ally in the Middle East. Failing to stop the clearly one-sided and dangerous U.N. resolution not only threatens peace in the region, but actually emboldens terrorist forces in their attempts to destroy Israel by any means necessary. I am sickened by this administration’s break with longstanding U.S. foreign policy to stand by Israel. I take solace in the fact that a Trump administration will protect this cherished relationship and look forward to many more years of partnership between our two nations.”
