Kasich stresses that he is in favor of suspending the nuclear deal with Iran, in response to the regime’s recent missile tests. He adds that any further violations should warrant the reinstatement of sanctions on Iran. No amount of money will lead the US to put Israel’s security at risk, he says.
Kasich says that should he become president, his appointees will work tirelessly to assure Israel’s safety, and to block Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah influence in the region, as well as Iran’s.
He says he believes he can lead a coalition to defeat the Islamic state in the Middle East, and ill work to provide relief to Jordan, which has been struggling under the weight of an influx of Syrian refugees. The Republican party candidate says he will work to stop oil shipment from Libya, and help the Egyptian government fight insurgents in the Sinai peninsula.
Kasich says finally, after their mission is complete, he will bring American troops in Afghanistan home.
He stresses that he will fight for Jewish students’right to speak without fear on campus, and to defend Israel.
Kasich condemns the Palestinians for a recent wave of terror attacks on Israeli civilians. If they truly want peace, the Palestinians must prove stop promoting a culture of violence and hate, he says. He demands that all Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state, otherwise their cannot be peace.
