• In June 2026, Hinson called for an enforceable U.S.-Iran agreement that would ensure Iran never again had a pathway to nuclear weapons. She said any agreement should include strict accountability and access requirements before sanctions relief.

• In October 2023, Hinson announced bipartisan actions intended to support Israel and counter terrorist threats following Hamas's attack. She backed a resolution condemning Hamas and calling for the immediate release of hostages, supported efforts to prevent Iran from accessing funds that could finance terrorism, and urged the administration to address potential terrorist threats to the United States.

• In November 2023, Hinson described Hamas as an organization of evil terrorists and supported legislation providing Israel with the military capabilities needed to defeat Hamas, while also calling for the return of Americans held hostage by the group. terrorist-threats

• In the same June 2026 interview, Hinson said U.S. policy should continue cutting off resources to Iranian proxy groups and emphasized supporting Israel and other U.S. partners while enforcing an Iran agreement.

• On the first anniversary of the October 7 attack, Hinson described Hamas's assault as pure evil, noting that approximately 1,200 people were murdered and hundreds were taken hostage. She said the United States must continue standing with Israel, help secure the release of the remaining hostages, and ensure that Hamas is defeated.

• Hinson said that combating rising antisemitism would be a priority for her in Congress. She supported educating the public about antisemitism, encouraging victims and witnesses to share their experiences, and recognizing antisemitism as a form of hate speech and religious discrimination.

• In December 2023, Hinson voted for H. Res. 894, which condemned the rise of antisemitism in the United States and around the world, rejected antisemitic rhetoric and acts, reaffirmed support for the Jewish community, and called on public figures to condemn antisemitism.

• In May 2024, Hinson voted for the Antisemitism Awareness Act, which directed the Department of Education to use the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism when enforcing Title VI protections. Hinson said the legislation would help hold colleges accountable for antisemitic discrimination and ensure that Jewish students receive equal civil-rights protections.

• Hinson has also argued that universities failing to protect Jewish students from intimidation and discrimination should risk losing federal funding, stating that financial consequences could force schools to fulfill their responsibility to provide a safe campus environment. campuses wont-protect-jewish

• In June 2024, Hinson became a cosponsor of the bipartisan Countering Antisemitism Act. Among its provisions, the bill directed federal agencies to evaluate how the Department of Homeland Security's Nonprofit Security Grant Program was being used to protect Jewish nonprofit organizations at high risk of terrorist attack. It also required an annual assessment of threats from antisemitic violent extremism and expanded coordination with Jewish community organizations.

• In June 2024, Hinson voted for the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act, which would impose sanctions on International Criminal Court officials involved in efforts to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute individuals from the United States or allied countries. The House considered the bill after the ICC prosecutor sought arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

• Hinson said she met with representatives from AIPAC and the Republican Jewish Coalition during her congressional campaign to learn about issues important to the Jewish community. She also described longstanding personal connections with Jewish families and said she intended to continue listening to Jewish constituents and advocating for their concerns.
