Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas offered an amendment on the Senate floor this afternoon to “defend the U.S.-Israel alliance” at the United Nations.
“The alliance between the United States and Israel is an alliance between the American people and the Israeli people, between the ultimate defender of the West and the eastern-most frontier of the West. As such, Congress is committed to ensuring the United States continues to defend Israel in the United Nations and other international forums. For decades the relationship between Israel and the United States has transcended political and personal differences. Our shared interests were enough to overcome any ideology. I urge the Obama administration to put their personal differences aside and uphold that tradition,” Cotton said.
