Woodall Reiterates Support for Israel

Rep. Rob Woodall (R-GA-07) today reiterated his support for Israel while expressing disappointment in President Barack Obama’s suggestion the Israelis should return their country to its pre-1967 borders.

“As a long-time supporter of Israel, I was very disappointed by President Obama’s remarks regarding the Administration’s proposed future foreign policy on a way forward for Israel and the Palestinians,” Woodall said in a released statement.  “It is naïve and imprudent to believe that lasting peace can be achieved by chipping away at Israel’s sovereignty.” 

Woodall said any discussion that includes a demand to return to Israel’s pre-1967 borders jeopardizes both Israel and its neighbors.

“We must go forward, and that means looking for a viable solution during this tumultuous time that does not threaten Israel and its unique democratic way of life,” Woodall said. “In a land where violence and uncertainty reign, Israel stands out as a beacon of hope and freedom, and I will fight to ensure that it continues to stand for all time.”

Rep. Woodall will visit Dacula this Saturday, May 21 for a town hall meeting.

The meeting will be held in the theater of  and is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m.

Woodall’s Seventh District includes all of Barrow and Walton counties, most of Gwinnett County, and portions of Forsyth and Newton counties.
