On Friday’s “CNN This Morning” broadcast, Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) said the U.S. position on the Israel-Hamas conflict is “very different than it was in October or early November. “We are aware of this,” he said. The US just abstained from the UN resolution on a ceasefire. We’ve vetoed it a couple of times now. So I think we’re moving in the direction of trying to put more pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu to wage this war in a smarter way. ”
Host Casey Hunt said, “Congressmen, another piece of news we’re working on this morning is this big fundraiser that President Biden held in New York City with two former presidents, President Biden’s conduct. was repeatedly interrupted by angry demonstrators.” [with] war in Gaza. President Obama actually seemed to encourage the crowd to listen to what they had to say in that context. Do you think President Biden is striking the right balance between supporting Israel and representing humanitarian concerns in Gaza?”
Mr. Bayer replied: It was a journey. We are in a very different situation than we were in October and early November, with civilian casualties continuing to rise in Gaza, hunger worsening, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continuing to grow increasingly disappointed in the way he is conducting this war. , I think he’s trying to get it right. This can also be seen in the fact that the United States abstained from the UN ceasefire resolution. We’ve vetoed it a couple of times now. So I think we’re moving in the direction of trying to put more pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu to wage this war in a smarter way. ”
