Meng Issues Statement Condemning Rocket Attacks From Gaza

March 12, 2014
U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa, today released the following statement condemning today’s rocket attacks from Gaza:
“I condemn in the strongest terms today’s rocket attacks from Gaza against innocent Israelis. My thoughts and prayers are with those affected by these acts of terrorism. I was in Sderot this past August and was both pained and inspired by how the people there have coped with such vicious rocket attacks.
Israel disengaged from Gaza in 2005. It has no designs for Gaza and does not seek to occupy Gaza or govern it. It seeks only peace and security for its citizens. Provocative rocket attacks like these will result only in greater hardship for Israelis and Gazans, nothing more. These mindless acts of violence must stop immediately.”
