Senator Baldwin Votes to Rein in Netanyahu and Stop War in Iran
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) released the following statement after voting to stop the sale of 1,000-pound bombs and bulldozers to Israel as Prime Minister Netanyahu continues to wage a war in Lebanon, breaking the U.S. ceasefire with Iran, killing hundreds of civilians, and extending the regional war.
“This illegal war of choice in Iran has to end. 13 Servicemembers have lost their lives and hundreds more have been wounded, gas and fertilizer costs are skyrocketing, and Americans are no safer today than when the war began. And if I have an opportunity to bring us closer to peace and stop any more needless deaths – I will do it.
“Netanyahu is waging a war in Lebanon that is breaking the fragile ceasefire the U.S. agreed to with Iran, killing hundreds of civilians and acting as a roadblock to ending the war for good. What Netanyahu is doing is simply against the interests of the U.S. and an impediment to what we all want: peace and stability in the region. As long as the Netanyahu government continues this reckless campaign in Lebanon, the United States should not be supplying him with 1,000-pound bombs and bulldozers.
“I have and always will support Israel’s right to defend itself. And, we have a responsibility to use our power to stop needless deaths of civilians and prolonging a war that has already gone on too long.”
