ICYMI: Sen. Cruz on the Radio

Commits to reversing damage Obama administration has inflicted on U.S.-Israel alliance

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) spoke with with radio hosts Larry O’Connor, Hugh Hewitt, and Mike Gallagher yesterday and today.

Sen. Cruz discussed the Obama administration’s anti-Israel agenda and his solutions to strengthen our alliance with Israel, his proposed term limits amendment, and opportunities for Republicans to repeal Obamacare and advance pro-growth policies as President-elect Donald Trump takes office later this month, among other topics.

“What the Obama administration has done in the last several weeks, concerning Israel, has been unprecedented and has been absolutely shameful. And it really lays bare the incredible animosity for Israel that President Obama and Secretary Kerry, I believe, have had their entire administration,” Cruz told Larry O’Connor. 

Cruz continued: “But what happened here is on the way out after the election, and there's a reason Obama did this after the election because he didn't want the American people to hold him accountable. The Obama administration orchestrated the United Nations moving against Israel and adopting a rabidly anti-Israel resolution. 

“Now, for decades, the United States has stood as a bulwark preventing the UN from acting on anti-Semitism, acting against Israel, and has over and over again has vetoed or threatened to veto resolutions very similar to this. This time the Obama administration—John Kerry, Joe Biden—orchestrated it, made it happen and then stepped back and abstained so the exiting salvo from the Obama administration is a condemnation of Israel. I think it’s shameful, I think it’s disgraceful and I think Congress needs to act to reverse this.”
