WASHINGTON, D.C.—Rep. Greg Stanton, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the following statement in response to the attack by Hamas on Israel today:

“This is a horrific, unprovoked attack against our ally by Hamas terrorists. The U.S. must stand with Israel as it defends itself and protects its people.”

The safety and security of U.S. citizens overseas remains one of Stanton’s highest priorities. If Arizonans or their family in the region need assistance from the State Department or other U.S. federal agency, they should contact Stanton’s office at https://stanton.house.gov/help.
