Hoyer Statement on Hamas’s Decision to Reunite With Iran
WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today after reports that Hamas has made the decision to reunite with and receive aid from Iran:
"I am outraged to hear of Hamas's decision to reunite with Iran. This unholy alliance between them stems from a deep hatred of Israel, of America, and of the universal human rights and freedoms that both our nations represent. It is deeply concerning for Hamas to reengage with its former patron, and the world must not allow Iranian arms and money to flow to Gaza for the purpose of murdering innocent Jewish civilians across the border in Israel or effecting Hamas’s stated goal of ‘throwing Israel into the sea.’ Congress must continue to stand united behind bipartisan support for our ally Israel and behind diplomatic efforts by the Secretary of State to build international opposition to the Iran-Hamas reunification."
