Irvine, CA – In the face of escalating violence and the recent attacks on Israel by Hamas, California State Senator and Congressional candidate Dave Min has issued a resolute statement condemning these actions as war crimes while expressing unwavering support for Israel.

"The despicable invasion of Israel and terror attacks on Israeli citizens by Hamas and Islamic Jihad are war crimes, and those responsible must be held accountable.
