Stefanik defends speech at Israel's Knesset torching Biden, Democrats: 'Equivocation after equivocation'
Fox News
House GOP Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., defended her speech with Israeli lawmakers in Jerusalem amid President Biden's "failed leadership" on the Hamas war.
"The world needs to know, and Israel needs to know, that the House Republican majority stands strongly with Israel," Stefanik said. "That this equivocation, this weak, failed leadership that we are seeing from Joe Biden, that’s not where the American people are, that’s not where the United States Congress is. And it’s not reflective of the legislation that we passed that Joe Biden signed into law. So, it is important for the world to hear. The world is looking for moral leadership, Shannon. And it’s important that House Republicans step up to fill that void, which we have under Speaker Johnson’s leadership."

Stefanik said the main focus of her speech "was that the American people stand strongly with Israel, as do House Republicans," referencing how on Thursday the House passed legislation that rebuked Biden for pausing a shipment of bombs to Israel, seeking to force the weapons transfer.
