West Palm Beach, FL – Today, Congresswoman Lois Frankel (FL-21) issued the following statement on last night’s airstrikes in Syria:

“The seven year Syrian civil war is one of the great humanitarian crises of our time. One night of air strikes is not a substitute for a needed comprehensive strategy that includes robust political and diplomatic engagement in order to bring the conflict to an end. Moving forward, absent an imminent attack on our country, President Trump must secure a new Authorization for Use of Military Force from Congress before taking further military action against the Assad regime.”
