Washington, D.C. — Today, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul issued the following statement on the Biden administration’s slow-walking of critical weapons systems to our ally Israel as it faces continued attacks from Iran’s proxies, including Hamas and Hezbollah. 

“Hezbollah’s horrific attack last weekend that killed at least 12 young people in Israel further exposes the brutality of Israel’s enemies. As Iran and its proxies threaten Israel, the Biden administration continues to delay the delivery of critical weapons, including numerous arms sales purchased with congressionally appropriated funds. This sends a dangerous message to our enemies. The administration must immediately advance delivery of these weapons to send a clear message that the U.S.’ commitment to our ally Israel is genuinely ironclad.”
