In Her Own Words
“Hamas’s massive rocket attacks are deeply troubling and must stop...Hamas is placing civilians on both sides at risk. Israel has the right to defend its citizens in the face of these attacks. Israeli families should never have to spend the night in a bomb shelter.”
“When I visited Israel, I observed the fruits of the friendship between our nations firsthand...Our relationship must be permanent and durable -- one that is nourished on an ongoing basis and withstands any temporary policy disagreements.”
