Khanna (D-CA-17) 02/15/2022: In reply to Tweet@RoKhanna @JacobMagid @TimesofIsrael And actions speak louder than words: Support #HR2590. Why should the U.S. continue to provide billions in military aid without accountability to a two-state solution after Israel increasingly entrenches a one-state reality? Bernie & Warren put it on the table last year. – “@YonahLieberman @JacobMagid @TimesofIsrael I support a two state solution and also strict enforcement of Leahy and Arms Export control to ensure none of our aid is used in a way that violates human rights. I also have joined letters on Wadi Foquin and speaking out against forced evictions without due process.”

Torres (D-NY-15) 02/16/2022: Twitter thread – “One cannot claim to oppose the economic and diplomatic isolation of Israel yet oppose the Abraham Accords because it fails to economically and diplomatically isolate Israel. That makes no sense even by the distorted logic of the BDS movement. One can and should advocate for Palestinian dignity and sovereignty without delegitimizing Israel as a Jewish state or delegitimizing the Abraham Accords as a bonafide breakthrough for peace. The Abraham Accords PREVENTED the annexation of the West Bank, which, had it not been prevented, would have foreclosed even the possibility of a two-state solution. Thank God cooler heads prevailed.”

Cramer (R-ND) 02/16/2022: Tweet – “This new international policy of appeasement to dictators and thugs, rather than a demonstration of strength, has become a license to people like Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un, Iran, and the Taliban.”

Cruz (R-TX) 02/15/2022: Retweet of @JimInhofe – “Translation: The Biden admin is ready to give away the farm to reenter the failed Iran nuclear deal, and even those who support reentering the deal can't believe what @USEnvoyIran is willing to concede. Link to image”

Diaz-Balart (R-FL-25) 02/16/2022: Tweet – “The Biden Admin is apparently resuming Obama's bad Iran Deal and projecting weakness with unilateral concessions to the mullahs in Iran. The terrorist state of Iran must never be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon, and relaxing sanctions only makes it more likely that it will.”

Fallon (R-TX-4) 02/16/2022: Tweet – “This Administration has made concession after concession with Iran. And now, we are going to make it far easier for the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism to obtain a nuclear weapon.”

Hagerty (R-TN) 02/16/2022: Tweet – “This is a disaster. A Senate-confirmed U.S. official should be negotiating this matter.

Murphy (D-CT) 02/15/2022: Tweet – “Explain to me how five years of "maximum pressure" on Iran has worked out? Iran's nuclear program is more advanced. Iran's support to terrorists has increased. Iran's government is more hardline. Iran's regional provocation is more dangerous. Why would we want more of this?”

Palmer (R-AL-6) 02/16/2022: Tweet – “And President Biden has made it easier for Iran to build its nuclear weapon potential by not imposing sanctions and bending over backwards to bring back the disastrous nuclear deal.

Rubio (R-FL) 02/15/2022: Tweet – “The Biden Administration is so desperate for a “nuclear deal” with Iran that it is allowing Tehran's anti-American militias access to U.S. funds.

Coons (D-DE) 02/16/2022: Twitter thread – “The Ethiopian government lifting the state of emergency in place since the war began is a positive development. I hope to see further action taken to release those arrested under the SoE, remove obstructions to aid & services into Tigray, and begin inclusive peace talks. As the single largest donor of humanitarian assistance, I'm glad that the American people through @USAID continue to provide life-saving aid to support the Ethiopian people and promote regional stability.”

McCaul (R-TX-10) 02/16/2022: Tweet – “LR @RepMcCaul: "The lifting of the state of emergency in #Ethiopia is a step in the right direction, but the release of prisoners held under the authority must follow.

Bacon (R-NE-2) 02/15/2022: Twitter thread – “Russia already invaded Crimea and the Donbas, both part of Ukraine. Yet, President Biden green-lighted Russia's Nord Stream II pipeline.
