In a strong statement issued on his verified Twitter account, U.S. Senator Rick Scott condemned the ongoing actions of Iran-backed Hamas, highlighting their continued detention of American and Israeli hostages.
Senator Scott emphasized that Hamas’s behavior proves that the group is not interested in any peace negotiations or deals, but rather, it is committed to the destruction of Israel.
Scott’s tweet read, “Iran-backed Hamas continues to hold Americans and Israelis hostage. Hamas terrorists prove every single day they don’t want a deal or peace. They want to destroy Israel, and we must never allow that to happen.”
The Senator’s remarks come amid increasing tensions in the Middle East, where Hamas, a designated terrorist organization by the United States and other countries, has been involved in violent confrontations with Israel. The group’s continued attacks and hostage-taking have been widely condemned by the international community, yet the conflict persists with no immediate resolution in sight.
Scott’s statement reflects a broader concern among U.S. lawmakers about the stability of the region and the safety of American citizens abroad. His strong language suggests a call for unwavering support for Israel in the face of ongoing threats from Hamas and its backers in Iran.
The Florida Senator, known for his staunch support of Israel, has frequently voiced concerns over Iran’s influence in the region and the dangers posed by terrorist organizations like Hamas.
