Mario Díaz-Balart, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Florida's 26th District, recently made several statements on social media addressing various issues. His posts span topics from border security to international relations and his role within congressional committees.
On November 20, 2024, Díaz-Balart commented on border security issues under the current administration, stating that "Crimes linked to the violent criminal organization Tren de Aragua have exploded under the Biden-Harris admin border chaos over the last 4 years." He expressed confidence in former President Trump's ability to secure the border and restore safety.
Later that day, Díaz-Balart acknowledged his colleagues' support in reappointing him as their representative on the Steering Committee. He wrote: "Thank you to my Florida colleagues for once again selecting me as your Representative on the Steering Committee." He emphasized his commitment to advancing priorities for American citizens.
On November 21, 2024, Díaz-Balart criticized the International Criminal Court (ICC) regarding its actions against Israeli leaders. He stated: "The ICC’s antisemitic obsession with Israel is on full display with its decision to issue warrants against PM Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Gallant." He argued there is no equivalence between Hamas terrorists and Israel's democratically elected leaders acting in self-defense.
