Senator Tim Scott Expresses Support for Israel
Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) passionately voiced his support for Israel, emphasizing the importance of providing them with all the necessary resources. In an interview on CBS Mornings, he stressed the need for unwavering solidarity between the United States and Israel as they respond to the recent attack.
Standing Shoulder to Shoulder with Israel
“What we know without question is that there cannot be a hint of daylight between us, the United States of America, and Israel as they respond to this attack. It is absolutely essential that they know we have their backs. We stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel,” Scott declared.
As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Scott highlighted the positive and enduring partnership between the U.S. and Israel, particularly in terms of military cooperation. He emphasized the need to ensure that Israel has access to all the necessary resources.
“We will need to fill some of the assets and resources that will be depleted along the way,” he explained.
Scott also addressed concerns about the connection between Iran and Hamas in planning the recent terror attack on Israel. He provided clear examples of Iranian leadership’s support for Hamas, emphasizing the dangerous consequences of weakness in the White House.
Reinforcing the Linkage between Iran and Hamas
“We can see it reinforced throughout the globe that when there’s weakness in the White House, there’s blood in the streets,” Scott, a Republican presidential candidate, asserted.
Furthermore, Scott criticized the negotiation and release of $6 billion to Iran, arguing that it created a market for hostages and facilitated collaboration between Iran and Hamas.
“When you negotiate and give $6 billion, you create a market for hostages, and the response to that has been Iran and Hamas working together without much of a question,” he stated.
On another note, Scott called for a Senate investigation into the release of $6 billion to Iran and urged the Senate Banking Committee to hold a hearing with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
“As the top Republican on the Senate Banking Committee with direct jurisdiction over our economic national security tools, including sanctions, I will push for Chairman Brown to invite and urge Treasury Secretary Yellen to testify as soon as possible on the $6 billion recently transferred to Iran and any sanctions gaps we might have with respect to Iran,” Scott announced.
Scott emphasized the need for rigorous congressional oversight to understand why the Biden administration allowed such a significant transfer of funds to Iran and how they expected Iran not to use that money to support terrorism.
