On Friday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “The Hill,” Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) criticized President Joe Biden for criticizing Israel’s military response to the Oct. 7 terrorist attack as “overreach.” “There is a need” for Hamas’ leadership, he said. “Leave Gaza” and allow the area to be rebuilt for civilians, and until that happens, the destruction of Gaza is “when terrorist organizations…use civilian buildings and civilians as human shields.” What will happen to it?”
Host Blake Berman played a video of Biden saying, “You know, I think the implementation of the response in the Gaza Strip has gone too far.”
Then Berman asked:[O]Versatop,” he says. Congressman, were you disappointed in that statement? ”
Mr. Sherman replied: “Look, I see these photos coming in from Gaza. We all want the fighting to end. It would be great if Israel would let Hamas leave Gaza and allow the rebuilding process. Until then, as you can see on the screen now, that’s what happens when a terrorist organization uses civilian buildings and civilians as human shields. The Hamas leadership needs to retreat, and then I We must rebuild Gaza for the people of Gaza.”
