PRESS RELEASE

ROBIN KELLY REACTS TO SENATE VOTE TO BLOCK WEAPONS SALES TO ISRAEL

PARK FOREST, Ill. – Robin Kelly issued the following statement on the U.S. Senate’s vote to block weapons sales to Israel:

"I applaud our IL Sens. Durbin and Duckworth for their leadership and conviction to vote against supplying weapons to Israel that are fueling an ongoing humanitarian crisis. I would have voted with them. Israelis and Palestinians must work to secure a path forward where both peoples can live in peace, safety and security. I have supported Israel, but in this moment, I cannot in good conscience defend starving young children and prolonging the suffering of innocent families. Now is the time for moral leadership in the U.S. Senate."
