Schneider Statement on Iron Dome Funding

WASHINGTON – Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) released the following statement following on Iron Dome funding:

"4400 rockets were fired against Israel last spring. Iron Dome defended Israel, saving lives on both sides of the border. The U.S. stood by Israel then, and we stand with Israel now. I supported Iron Dome funding in the CR. I will make sure that Iron Dome is funded this year.

"Israel has a new government with the broadest imaginable governing coalition, including Arab parties. Israelis and Palestinians are talking to each other again. The Abraham Accords are changing the dynamic of the entire region. All progress starts with and depends on security. And security relies on Iron Dome funding."
