Gwen Graham Showcases Efforts Helping Protect Israel From Terrorist Attacks

On Thursday, U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham, D-Fla., offered her take on a recent meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and showcased her legislation bolstering that nation‘s defenses against tunnel attacks increasingly used by terrorists. 

“It was an honor to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu to discuss how we can work together to protect Israel’s borders from tunnel attacks,”Graham said on Thursday. “In North Florida, we support our neighbors – and America must do the same with our allies. I’m proud to stand with Israel in fighting terrorism.”

“I deeply appreciate your important work to support the development of technological means to deal with the very real threat posed by terror tunnels,” Netanyahu told Graham at their recent meeting in Israel. 
 
News emerged this week of Hamas terrorists using tunnels in Gaza as they continue thier efforts against Israel. Graham teamed up with U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Col., earlier this year to amend the National Defense Authorization Act to help bolster Israel’s defenses against these tunnel attacks. 
 
“I saw firsthand the threats Israeli civilians face,” Graham said on Thursday. “No one, in Israel or any other country, should have to worry about terrorists digging into their homes and kidnaping or murdering them. Working together, we can save Israel and American lives from future attacks.”
