Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Bob Menendez (D-NJ) issued the following statement after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved their bipartisan resolution in remembrance of the 1994 bombing of the Argentine Israeli Mutual Association (AMIA) Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The 25th anniversary marked the deadliest terrorist attack in Argentina’s history, having resulted in the death of 85 people and wounding more than 300 people.
The resolution is cosponsored by Senators Ben Cardin (D-MD), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Tim Kaine (D-VA), and Todd Young (R-IN).
“The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations today is sending a clear message of overwhelming support to the families who were forever affected when Iran-backed Hizballah terrorists bombed the Argentine Israeli Mutual Association in Buenos Aires, killing 85 innocents and injuring hundreds on July 18, 1994,” Rubio said. “I thank my colleagues for standing with the Argentine Jewish community in their efforts to seek justice and to commemorate the 25th anniversary of this horrific attack.”
“Today’s passage shows our continued commitment to finding justice for victims of terrorist attacks across the world,” said Menendez. “I look forward to working with my colleagues as we continue to support the Government of Argentina in their investigation into the event. Our world has no place for anti-Semitic acts, not then, not now, and not ever.”
Rubio is the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women’s Issues.
