Washington, D.C. — Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) released the following statement as Israel celebrates its 75thanniversary:

“I join my fellow Arkansans in congratulating Israel on the 75th anniversary of its independence. It is truly a miracle that the Jewish people established the modern Jewish state in their ancient homeland after 2,000 years in exile. We join Israelis in celebrating this blessing from God and in recommitting to the survival and success of the Jewish state."
