An important article by @indefchristians family member @Ykaliany. "Wherever they live, Syriac Christians are called to cherish and renew the spiritual and cultural inheritance that was passed down at great cost, lest it be lost to the tides of time." providencemag.com/2025/07/never-……

Spoke with Iraqi PM Sudani about the recent attacks against oil companies in Iraq, including U.S. companies. We support a prosperous Iraq, free of Iran’s pernicious influence.

Syrian government forces are being blamed for a brutal attack last week on the Druze minority in the country’s south. @richghazal tells @WNGdotorg "unless guardrails in strict conditions are placed, we're going to see more atrocities of this sort." wng.org/podcasts/syria…

Great interview by @indefchristians Executive Director @richghazal for @WNGdotorg discussing the recent developments in #Syria , how U.S. policy should adapt to the new circumstances, and the stakes for Syria’s Christians. wng.org/podcasts/syria…

I attended a moving Yezidi Genocide Commemoration organized by @Free_Yezidi @YazdaOrg @SinjarAcademy on Capitol Hill this morning. Thank you for raising awareness on the ongoing persecution facing Iraq’s religious minorities more than a decade after the ISIS Genocide.

Grateful to attend the Assyrian Martyrs Day Observance on Capitol Hill this evening. Thank you @RepAbeHamadeh for supporting Christianity in the Middle East and arranging this event.

The U.S. has remained heavily involved over the last three days with Israel, Jordan and authorities in Damascus on the horrifying & dangerous developments in southern Syria. The rape and slaughter of innocent people which has and is still occuring must end. If authorities in…

NEW Congressman Hamadeh's Statement On the Barbaric Violence Being Committed Against the Druze in Syria

Wonderful to see @RepRileyMoore & @SenHawleyPress release this much-needed resolution on Christian persecution. This res is important bc it clearly identifies what so many won’t: that Christians are often singled out bc of what they believe & who they are. @ADFLegal @ADFIntl 👇

Read the full text of the resolution ➡️ rileymoore.house.gov/sites/evo-subs…

My thanks to @RepGregSteube, @RepMichaelGuest, @RepGrothman, @RepMcDowell, @RepBrandonGill, and @RepLuna for co-sponsoring the resolution, and thanks to @ADFIntl, @Heritage_Action, @ERLC, @indefchristians, @CatholicVote, @GC_Relief, @AmericanFreedom, @CUREpolicy, @family_policy,…

Around the world, our brothers and sisters in Christ face rampant persecution for simply acknowledging the name of Jesus. I just introduced a resolution with Senator @HawleyMO condemning this violence. Read all about it in the @realDailyWire ⬇️ dailywire.com/news/exclusive…

The recent escalation of violence in Syria "could undermine and endanger Syria's stability and derail progress made by @USAMBTurkiye," said @SenatorShaheen.   Read her full statement ⬇️

Church torched in southern Syria as violence spreads to rural villages #Suwayda #Sweida #Christians #Syria #Israel #Druze “This church is not made of stones. It is built on faith — faith that still lives in our hearts. And we will rebuild it.” syriacpress.com/blog/2025/07/1…

We have engaged all the parties involved in the clashes in Syria. We have agreed on specific steps that will bring this troubling and horrifying situation to an end tonight. This will require all parties to deliver on the commitments they have made and this is what we fully…

Commendable efforts by @SecRubio to end fighting in SW #Syria, this is a critical moment for Al-Sharaa to demonstrate his commitment to an inclusive Syria governed by rule of law, not the rule of gun. @StateDept must prepare to impose consequences if there is no accountability.

Al-Sharaa’s pledge to hold perpetrators of human rights violations in #Suwayda accountable rings hollow after the same promise went unfulfilled following the massacres of civilians around Latakia in March. Accountability, not empty promises, is necessary for Syria’s stability.

On @i24NEWS_EN, I discussed violence against the Druze in Suwayda & troubling conditions for Syria’s minorities—driven by a Constitution that marginalizes instead of guaranteeing equal citizenship. U.S. & intl community must press for decentralization with local governance &…

The Kurds in Syria have not been seeking “a federal state” or an “independent government.” They want to be part of this new Syria while preserving the inclusive, cohesive society they have built. Disappointing to hear these divisive comments after positive feedback all around…

Great event tonight hosted by @TheIRD on the Chinese government’s human rights violations, the persecution of Christians, and the disappearance of Gao Zhisheng with @BobFu4China from @chinaaid, @iguangcheng, and Prof William Saunders from @CatholicUniv
