WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and member of Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, met with Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Herzog at the Embassy of Israel in Washington, D.C. following Hamas terror attacks against innocent Israeli civilians.

“My heart goes out to the State of Israel and the entire Jewish community in light of these barbaric attacks on innocent civilians, including so many women and children,” said Senator Tim Scott. “These terror attacks are pure evil, and there must be a swift, decisive response. The United States stands shoulder to shoulder with Israel as she defends herself and her people.
