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.
