Senator Frank Carroll has voiced his support for Israel on the one-year anniversary of a terrorist attack attributed to Hamas. The attack, which targeted Israeli citizens and resulted in hostages being taken, remains a point of concern for the senator.

"On this solemn day, my heart breaks for the Israelis who've suffered such horrifying acts of evil by Hamas and Iran, as well as for the hostages who are still enduring torturous conditions," said Senator Carroll. He criticized what he described as "irresponsible policies of the Harris-Biden Administration," suggesting they have emboldened adversaries.

Carroll emphasized Israel's right to self-defense and urged action from the current U.S. administration: "I call on the Harris-Biden Administration to do everything in their power to ensure the American hostages who are still being held against their will today are released and brought back home immediately." He further encouraged unity against violence in the Middle East and called upon Arizonans to oppose antisemitism: "We must stand united against this evil... I urge all Arizonans to speak out against the injustices our Jewish friends are experiencing."

The statement concluded with a plea for divine protection against terrorism: "May the good Lord protect our world from the Iranian-directed terrorists who are attempting to spread death and destruction upon the innocent."
