SACRAMENTO, Calif., March, 21, 2019 — Rev. Samuel Rodriguez issues the following statement:
“I join with Israel and the Jewish people in enthusiastically applauding today’s decision by this administration to formally recognize what’s been true since God Himself gave the Israelites the Promised Land many thousands of years ago—and more recently in 1967 when Israel re-took control of the land during the Six-Day War—that the Golan Heights are the rightful, sovereign lands of Israel. If this territory were ever to fall under the control of another government or terrorist group hostile to the nation of Israel, it would only mean conflict, death and war for the entire region. It is my firm belief that this bold action, which has long been promised by other politicians, will do much to ensure lasting peace and stability throughout the Golan Heights and neighboring lands for many generations to come.”
