Federations' Statement on Israel response to Hezbollah

For nearly a year, close to 70,000 Israelis have been displaced from their homes in the North because of relentless Hezbollah rocket fire, missiles, and drones.

 

Hezbollah has stood in violation of UN Resolution 1701 for 18 years, breaking the terms of the ceasefire that ended the last Lebanon war, entrenching its military capability directly across the border from Israel, and endangering Lebanese civilians by stockpiling weapons in their homes.

 

No country can allow a terrorist group to continuously threaten and attack its citizens. Jewish Federations stand behind Israel's right to defend herself.
