This week, Congressman Tom McClintock and I, with the support of over 160 members of Congress, reintroduced H.Res.100.

Washington, D.C. -- Israeli police say at least seven people were killed and three were injured in a shooting near a synagogue in Jerusalem in what police chief Yaakov Shabtai described as "one of the worst terror attacks in the past few years."
"Horrified and outraged to learn that, yet again, an act of Palestinian terrorism has stolen the lives of innocent Israeli civilians - this time, at least 7 attending Shabbat services," said Congressman Brad Sherman. "Equally horrifying are images of militants handing out sweets to 'celebrate' this evil act."

Washington, D.C. - Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA), senior Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and member of the Congressional Armenia Caucus, continued to condemn Azerbaijain's continued blockade of Artsakh and urge for a U.S. response.

Washington, D.C. – "China's most recent aggression in Arunachal Pradesh is yet another reminder of why a strong security partnership with India is crucial to the national security of the United States and our allies. This event marks yet another act of the PRC's threats to Indian territory, including China's premeditated aggression on the line of actual control in 2020 which saw the death of approximately 20 Indian troops.
Washington, D.C. – I am deeply disturbed by reports of a humanitarian calamity currently unfolding in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) as a result of Azerbaijan's continued and unabated campaign of aggression against the Armenian people.
Azerbaijan has reportedly imposed a blockade on the only road connecting Artsakh with Armenia and the primary means by which food, medical supplies and other vital resources are transported to the region. As a result, the lives of Artsakh's 120,000 Armenians, and the prospect for peace in the region, remain in grave jeopardy.
