Franklin's Statement on U.S. Abstention on UN Security Council Gaza Ceasefire Resolution
Washington, DC,
March 26, 2024
Rep. Scott Franklin (FL-18) issued the following statement regarding the U.S. abstention on the Gaza ceasefire resolution before the UN Security Council yesterday: “A non-veto is a critical foreign policy failure by the Biden Administration. The President must reaffirm American support of Israel and its right to defend itself. He should immediately and unequivocally denounce a ceasefire, especially proposals that fail to demand the safe return of all hostages. Anything less makes the US look weak and sends mixed messages to our strong ally and friend, Israel.” ### |
