Rep. Gaetz Speaks on House Floor about Hezbollah
I am looking forward to circumstances where this administration will have additional tools to deal with transnational criminal organizations, and I hope that we will use those tools to counter the threat posed by Hezbollah. Hezbollah is not a political party, not a quaint reflection of history, it's a web of terrorists and criminals, and at web extends here to our hemisphere. In fact, in 2009, there was an arrest made in Philadelphia where Hezbollah operatives were looking to move machines guns into Syria. This important legislation will help us build a plan to leverage our allies, to leverage the organization of American states and other assets so that we recognize the threat that Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations pose and so we meet that threat head-on.
