Washington, Jan 3 -

Congressman George Radanovich (R-Mariposa) today released the following statement regarding the current situation in Gaza:

“The recent escalation of violence in the Gaza Strip is sad and discouraging.  Unfortunately, Hamas has proven their unwillingness to allow our friends in Israel to live in peace, which has given Israeli forces no choice but to defend their sovereignty.

“An immediate end to the violence in the Gaza region is desired by all; however it is imperative that Israel has the freedom to defend their people and their democracy from blatant terrorist actions.

“The Palestinian people deserve better than the destructive leadership provided by Hamas and I encourage the international community to help facilitate a resolution to the current conflict and ultimately, peace in the region."
