Congressman David Scott Statement on Israel-Palestine Conflict

The Israeli and Palestinian people – whether in Israel, Gaza or the West Bank – deserve to live free from fear of indiscriminate rocket attacks targeting civilians. I hope for a diplomatic solution to end the violence between Israel and Hamas in the region and urge Israeli and Palestinian leaders to prioritize a swift de-escalation of hostilities to protect civilians during this conflict.

Notes From The Community

I would like to sincerely thank you, Congressman Scott, and your staff for helping my husband, a U.S. Army Veteran, and I when we needed you most. This office was such a blessing to us. You worked with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on our behalf to clear a report in their system that would have taken us years to resolve. We just can't thank you enough for all of your kindness and dedication. - Alisa W. | Stockbridge, GA
