WASHINGTON– U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL), issued the following statement on President Obama’s speech on U.S. policy in the Middle East and North Africa:
“I am extremely disappointed that President Obama is turning his back on our strongest ally in the Middle East and rewarding the Palestinians for joining with Hamas – a terrorist group committed to Israel’s destruction.
This speech is another example of President Obama throwing our allies to the wolves in a vain attempt to appease our enemies. The President needs to make it clear that there will be no chance for peace unless Palestinian leadership distances itself from terrorism and recognizes Israel’s right to exist.
Once more, Obama failed to demonstrate to the Palestinian people and to the rest of the world that the United States stands with Israel, and that we will only support a peace that is negotiated in good faith by both parties.
Only our unconditional support of Israel will lead to lasting peace in the region.”
Rep. Walsh introduced H.R. 1501, to withhold U.S. funding from the United Nations until it officially retracts the Goldstone Report, a 2009 U.N. report that accused Israel of war crimes.
