Isakson Statement on Recent Israel Blockade

Jun 05, 2010

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., today released the following statement on regarding Israel’s decision to board ships attempting to sail to Gaza.

“While the loss of life aboard the Gaza-bound ship is tragic, Israel is well within its rights to defend itself against Hamas and any terrorist organizations that continue to support violence against its people. Like so many, I continue to hope that indirect peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority will continue and that peace in the region will finally come to fruition.”
