WASSERMAN SCHULTZ STATEMENT ON HEZBOLLAH INTERNATIONAL FINANCING PREVENTION ACT

Washington, DC – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement after voting in support of H.R. 2297, the Hezbollah International Financing Prevention Act:

“Yesterday, I joined my Democratic and Republican colleagues in overwhelmingly supporting a bill that will further curtail financing channels for the terrorist organization Hezbollah. These murderous actors are responsible for killing Americans, our allies and innocent civilians. They continue to play a destabilizing role throughout the region, including ongoing rocket attacks against our most important ally in the region, Israel. As we well know, Hezbollah’s main backers are the leaders of Iran, one of the worst state sponsors of terror in the world. We must continue to actively combat Iranian-backed terrorism, and I was proud to vote for this bill.”
