U.S. Representative Bill Flores (R-Texas) issued the following statement following the House passage of H. Res. 11, which objects to the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334 as an obstacle to Israeli-Palestinian peace:
“Israel is a staunch ally and an important presence in the Middle East. It is shameful that the Obama administration undermined our long standing position to defend Israel. Today, the House took a bipartisan stand against the administration’s anti-Israel UN resolution stunt. Now more than ever, we must refocus and strengthen our alliance with Israel to encourage democracy and stability in the region.”
Congressman Bill Flores represents the 17th District of Texas and is an entrepreneur, former energy executive, Certified Public Accountant (CPA), former Chairman of the Republican Study Committee (RSC) and member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
