U.S. House passes Kelly-backed resolution supporting Israel

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In their first vote since the election of Speaker Mike Johnson, today, U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) and the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning the deadly attack on Israel by Hamas, a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization.

Kelly first co-sponsored the resolution earlier this month.

"Let's be clear: the United States must stand with Israel," said Rep. Kelly. "Our strongest ally in the Middle East is under attack by Hamas terrorists. I condemn these senseless and unprecedented attacks. This vote shows the U.S. House of Representatives supports Israel's right to protect and defend itself and its people in this war."

The resolution passed by a vote of 412 to 10, with 6 members voting present.
