New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, a member of Republican House leadership, on Sunday addressed a caucus of Israel’s parliament during which she called for full U.S. military aid to support the war against Hamas in Gaza.
Stefanik, who represents a conservative district in northern New York, said the U.S. should supply “the state of Israel with what it needs, when it needs it, without conditions to achieve total victory in the face of evil.”
Stefanik framed the speech as a rebuke to President Joe Biden, who curbed delivery of some weapons to Israel amid growing concern over the humanitarian crisis and civilian deaths in Gaza.
In her speech, she blasted the idea of any restrictions that might hamper the fight against Hamas.
“Total victory starts, but only starts, with wiping those responsible for October 7th off the face of the earth,” Stefanik said.
Hamas launched an attack inside Israel on October 7 that killed roughly 1,200 people, including civilians, according to the Israeli government.
In the months since, Israel’s military has waged a military campaign inside Gaza that has left more than 35,000 people dead, including many civilians, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
