                         ISRAEL TERROR ATTACKS

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my deepest 
condolences to the families of the four Israelis, three of whom are 
also American citizens, who were murdered by Palestinian terrorists in 
Jerusalem during morning prayers in a synagogue.
  My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Israel who again have 
to endure another tragedy at the hands of Palestinian terrorists.
  It is no coincidence that this latest string of attacks on innocent 
Israelis comes after the Supreme Leader of Iran urged Palestinians to 
use violence against Israel and called for Israel's destruction, as did 
the terrorist group Hamas.
  This is another example of Iran's dangerous meddling in an effort to 
attack our U.S. interests and Israel, and Hamas's continued incitement 
of violence and terror.
  There is now a clear link to terrorism in both the West Bank and 
Gaza, and there can be no U.S. taxpayer dollars going to support a 
unity government that is backed by Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.
