U.S. Representative Marc Molinaro (NY-19) has issued a statement in response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent speech. Molinaro expressed his appreciation for Netanyahu's address, emphasizing the importance of America's support for Israel.

"It was a great honor to hear Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu speak today. America will stand for what is right. We will stand against terrorism, against those who don't value human life, and just like we did in World War II, we will stand resolute in support of Israel and the Jewish people," Molinaro stated.

Molinaro criticized certain reactions to the speech from within the United States, highlighting actions by some members of Congress and other public figures. "This is a time for moral clarity. And although it wasn't surprising, the theatrics of some on the far-left were nevertheless disturbing. Some members of Congress boycotted the speech or disrespected the Prime Minister within the chamber. Others outside burned American flags and effigies," he said.

He specifically mentioned Vice President Kamala Harris, noting her absence from Netanyahu's address. "But maybe the most shocking – Kamala Harris, who's running to be the next commander-in-chief, chose to visit a sorority instead of meeting with a top world leader," Molinaro remarked.

Molinaro concluded by stressing the need for unity in facing global threats: "These are dangerous messages to send at a time in which we need to unify against growing global threats. There is no question - America has always been and must always be a light in the world."
