Congressman Mike Lawler, who represents New York’s 17th congressional district, posted a series of statements on his official Twitter account addressing recent developments in U.S. foreign policy and domestic healthcare legislation.
On October 8, 2025, Lawler commented on news related to Israel and Hamas, stating, “This news is a welcome breakthrough and a testament to the strength of America’s unwavering partnership with Israel and our Arab partners. For too long, Hamas has chosen terror over peace, bringing suffering to both Israelis and Palestinians alike. Now, with Hamas reportedly https://t.co/u2s93vsnbH”. The post highlights Lawler’s support for diplomatic progress in the Middle East and underscores his position that ongoing violence by Hamas has negatively impacted both Israeli and Palestinian communities.
Shortly after midnight on October 9, Lawler shared another post containing only a link: “https://t.co/41ala3cv7l”.
Later that day, he turned his attention to domestic policy issues. On October 9, Lawler questioned House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries about bipartisan healthcare legislation: “Why won’t @RepJeffries join me in supporting bipartisan legislation to extend the ACA subsidies? https://t.co/s7Wqqhd7FV”. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies are federal financial assistance measures designed to make health insurance more affordable for Americans.
Lawler’s public calls reflect broader debates within Congress regarding continued U.S. engagement in Middle Eastern diplomacy as well as ongoing discussions about the future of healthcare subsidies under the ACA.
