The attack on Israel is seen as a deliberate act of aggression by Iranian-backed terrorists, who are driven by their desire to destroy Israel. Scalise makes it clear that the United States will not remain idle in the face of such an attack. He states, "Let me be clear: this is a deliberate, unprovoked and evil attack by Iranian-backed terrorists who want nothing more than to destroy Israel, and America will not stand by idly."

Scalise further emphasizes the need for Israel to have the necessary resources and support to combat the threat posed by Hamas and other groups involved in the attack. He states, "We must work to make sure Israel has what it needs to destroy Hamas and any others involved in this attack while deterring other threats to its security. Israel has our full support and prayers."

The statement by Scalise highlights the strong bond between the United States and Israel, emphasizing the shared commitment to fighting terrorism and ensuring the security of both nations.
