Israel - Palestine

Bacon (R-NE-2) 08/30/2022: Retweet of @AIPAC – “A deal that benefits Russia & Putin is a bad deal. A deal that is shorter & weaker should be unacceptable. A deal that allows Iran to escape accountability for its undisclosed nuclear work & funds Iran's terrorist activities will not make the world a safer place. #DangerousDeal”

Cohen (D-TN-9) 08/30/2022: Tweet – “@sophstod @ewilsonstudios @VICE @RaytheonTech @LockheedMartin Yeah I bought Raytheon about 30 years ago because they had patriot missiles that were protecting Israel from attacking missiles intended to destroy Israel.

Blackburn (R-TN) 08/30/2022: Tweet – “Iran just sent its first shipment of combat drones to Russia to help Putin in his war. And in case you forgot, Russia is negotiating the new Iran Nuclear Deal on behalf of the U.S. The New Axis of Evil is up to no good.”

Jacobs (D-CA-53) 08/31/2022: Tweet – “No one wants Iran to be a nuclear power. But let's be clear: Trump's plan of maximum pressure didn't work. Iran got closer to a nuclear weapon and increased their bad behavior in the region. The Iran Deal is our best chance to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.”

Luria (D-VA-2) 08/30/2022: Tweet – “Two things I have been saying for four years: 1) All ships we currently have are useful.

Horn of Africa

Beyer (D-VA-8) 08/30/2022: Tweet – “Renewed fighting in Ethiopia after a long ceasefire and the recent naming of a government negotiating team is very worrying. Escalation of violence now could be catastrophic– all sides must prioritize peace and allow humanitarian relief to reach those in desperate need. Link to quoted tweet"The loss of this fuel will push communities in Tigray, already struggling with the impacts of the conflict, further towards the brink of starvation." --- @WFPChief says the theft of 500,000 litres of fuel from @WFP in Ethiopia puts lives at risk.

Ryan Knauss of TN & the 12 other heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. Our prayers continue to be with the aching hearts of their loved ones.”

Blackburn (R-TN) 08/30/2022: Tweet – “Joe Biden's foreign policy is stranding Americans in Afghanistan and buying oil from terrorist regimes. We have not forgotten.”

Blumenthal (D-CT) 08/31/2022: Twitter thread – “THREAD: The images & stories of men, women, & children pleading for help & desperately seeking to escape the Taliban still haunt me one year after our nation's withdrawal from Afghanistan. 1/ In the days & weeks following the withdrawal, countless veterans, servicemembers, non-profit volunteers, & reporters became evacuation experts overnight & saved thousands of lives. 2/ Many were saved by these efforts&the evacuation was the largest in history, but many more remain left behind. As long as our allies&their families remain in Afghanistan, or in danger elsewhere, the US has a moral obligation to continue its evacuation&resettlement efforts. 3/ Our allies face an increasingly desperate situation&our work remains unfinished. More must be done to ensure these Afghans have a future of safety&stability. The Administration must expand Operation Allies Welcome&the Senate must pass the bipartisan Afghan Adjustment Act. 4/ The work to evacuate & resettle Afghan refugees continues. In their time of great peril, we owe them our assistance now. To do any less would be a stain on our nation's honor—& something I will not accept. 5”

Green (R-TN-7) 08/30/2022: Tweet – “President Biden was warned repeatedly that the return of the Taliban was a question of when, not if.

Jacobs (D-CA-53) 08/30/2022: Twitter thread – “One year ago today, President Biden ended America's longest war. A war that started when I was in middle school, and ended while I was a Member of Congress. After 20 years, bringing our troops home was long overdue. Despite countless lives lost & trillions of dollars spent, we were still unable to defeat the Taliban & our continued presence fueled violent extremism & worsened the cost of war on our servicemembers & military families. Even though America's involvement in the war is over, the consequences for the Afghan people are not. I will keep working with the Biden Admin to bring relief to the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan & continue the efforts to honor our promises to those who helped in the fight.”
