Avast, me hearties! Nineteen noble Republican governors be penning a missive to the grand President Biden, pleading for his unwavering backing o' Israel in this fierce skirmish wit' those scoundrels o' Hamas! Yo ho ho, let the support be unequivocal, or be prepared to walk the plank, matey!
A group of 19 Republican governors recently sent a letter to President Biden criticizing his administration's initial response to Hamas terrorists' attack on Israel. The governors called on Biden to provide "unequivocal support" for Israel as it continues to fight against the terror organization. The Republicans expressed their support for Israel and condemned Hamas' attacks on the Jewish State. They accused the administration of creating confusion with their comments, which they believed further emboldened state-sponsors of terrorism. The governors requested that Biden prioritize the protection of Americans in harm's way in Israel and support Israel's right to defend itself. They also called for action against Iran, including freezing a $6 billion payment made to the country and expanding sanctions. The governors further urged the closure of the U.S.-Mexico border to protect Americans from similar threats at home.The letter highlighted the importance of transparency in locating American citizens who have been taken hostage or are missing. The governors requested prompt communication of any continuing losses of American life to the states so they can provide support to impacted families. The letter was signed by prominent Republican governors, including Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott of Texas. DeSantis, who is running for president, has authorized logistical, rescue, and evacuation operations to evacuate Floridians in Israel.
The governors concluded the letter by urging Biden to address their concerns and emphasizing the need for the United States to exhibit leadership. They believe that the world is still watching and waiting for the country to assert its strength and support for its allies.
