After the brutal, unprovoked attacks on Israel by the terrorist organization Hamas, many Republicans focused on President Joe Biden and the recent deal he made with Iran.
Rockets rained down on Israel from the Gaza Strip this weekend as Hamas terrorists stormed the border and kidnapped and murdered men, women, and children.

Although there is still no conclusive proof, many people believed that Iran was partially responsible for funding the assaults because of the horrible and shocking footage and photographs that were released.
However, many Republicans criticised the president for engaging in negotiations with Iran because of its long history of hostility towards Israel and support for terrorist organisations.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, a Republican, noted that “just weeks ago, the Biden administration gave Iran $6 billion, and today, innocent Israelis were murdered by Iran-backed terrorists.” We must continue to support the Middle East’s strongest ally and their right to self-defense against these senseless, heinous acts.
“Biden just gave Iran, who finances Hamas, $6 billion. His and the Obama holdovers’ venal incompetence has now cost the lives of innocent Israeli civilians. America must always defend Israel’s right to fully exercise its right to self defence. Rep. Dan Bishop of North Carolina prayed for God to protect and bless Israel.
Last night, terrorists from Hamas who are under the direction of Iran declared physical war on Israel. I stand with our Israeli allies as they confront this brutality and these atrocities, and they will now take whatever action is necessary to defend themselves. According to Texas Senator Ted Cruz, the United States must continue to support Israel’s inalienable right to self-defense and guarantee that it has the military equipment and diplomatic backing necessary to combat the genocidal terrorists under the influence of Iran who want to destroy Israel.
“This is a clear attack on Israel. We must fully #StandWithIsrael to defend itself & stand strong on the front lines of terrorism,” Texas Rep. Chip Roy said. “We must act quickly to help Israel & reverse the damage of Biden’s $6BB funding of an Iranian regime backing each of the groups likely involved.”
“Hamas receives the most funding from Iran. Tim Scott, a Republican candidate for president and the senator from South Carolina, said, “This is the $6 billion ransom payment by Biden at work.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration has rebuffed suggestions that any of the $6 billion was used for the assaults.
According to Adrienne Watson, a spokesperson for the National Security Council, “Not a single penny from these funds has been spent, and when it is spent, it can only be spent on things like food and medicine for the Iranian people.”
This is not the time to promote misinformation, she said, adding that these monies have nothing to do with the horrible attacks that took place today.
