Congressman Mark Alford has expressed his approval following the Israeli military's operation that resulted in the death of Yahya Sinwar, a key figure linked to a recent attack. In a statement from Washington, D.C., Alford praised the actions taken by Israel.

“Justice has been served by the brave men and women of the Israeli military. Yahya Sinwar, the orchestrator of the horrific October 7th massacre, has been eliminated. His life was driven by hatred for Israel and for freedom. His death marks a significant step toward peace and security for the Israeli people," stated Congressman Alford.

He further emphasized that this event should send a clear message to Hamas and its allies about Israel's determination. "Let this serve as a clear message to Hamas and its supporters: Israel will never back down. The strength and resilience of the Jewish people, and their unwavering fight for freedom and security, cannot be broken. Terror and antisemitism will never overcome the spirit of liberty."

Alford also highlighted ongoing challenges faced by Israel, pointing out threats from various groups and countries in the region. "However, Israel's struggle is far from over. They continue to face grave threats from Iran and its proxies, from Hamas, and from Hezbollah," he noted.

Criticism was directed at U.S. leadership regarding their response to these threats: "Meanwhile, the weak and feckless response from the Harris-Biden administration only worsens these threats."

Concluding his statement, Alford stressed on maintaining strong ties between the United States and Israel: "The future of Israel depends on unwavering U.S. support. We must ensure that the bond between the U.S. and Israel remains ironclad, standing together in the fight against those who seek to destroy freedom and democracy."
