Sens. Cruz, Hagerty fly to Israel to survey damage from Hamas conflict
Fox News
Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Bill Hagerty of Tennessee traveled to Israel on Sunday to survey the damage stemming from the country’s recent military clashes with Hamas.
Cruz told the Free Beacon said he made the trip "to hear and see firsthand what our Israeli allies need to defend themselves and to show the international community that we stand unequivocally with Israel." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet approved a cease-fire with Hamas earlier this month following 11 days of fighting. President Biden and other top members of his administration have publicly called for an end to hostilities. Biden has pledged to aid Israeli’s effort to replenish its "Iron Dome" missile defense system as well as financial aid for reconstruction in Gaza.More Related News
