Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., joined a chorus of Republicans criticizing Biden for alleged weakness and appeasement of Iran by unfreezing $6 billion in funds months before the attack against Israel.
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., called on President Biden to deliver unwavering support to Israel in the face of Hamas' unprecedented attack from Saturday while also criticizing his alleged 'weakness' against Iran, who is reportedly behind the attack. 'For three years, the president has appeased Iran, the world's worst state sponsor of terrorism. It's not just the $6 billion that was released from sanctions controls last month.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., also called out the move in a statement Saturday. 'Just weeks ago, the Biden administration handed over $6 billion to Iran, and today, innocent Israelis were murdered by Iran-backed terrorists,' she said, adding, 'We must continue to support our strongest ally in the Middle East and their right to defend themselves against these unprovoked, horrific attacks.
Today, the people of Israel are under attack, orchestrated by a terrorist organization, Hamas,' he said. 'In this moment of tragedy, I want to say to them and to the world and to terrorists everywhere that the United States stands with Israel.' Hamas militants infiltrated Israel on the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah on Saturday, firing thousands of rockets at residential areas and holding civilians hostage.
