Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) was one of many members of Congress who stated that he supports the Jewish state as the Israeli air force launched what it said was a “preemptive” strike on Iranian military and nuclear targets.
Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho), chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, stated that “we stand with Israel tonight and pray for the safety of its people and the success of this unilateral, defensive action.”
Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) asked all Americans to join him “in praying for the safety of U.S. personnel in the Middle East and the safety and success of Israel as it takes action against a leading state sponsor of terrorism and our shared enemy, Iran.”
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas), Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.), Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.), Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.), chair of the House Education and Workforce Committee, were among those to articulate support for Israel, as did Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, a Republican.
