Filmmaker Michael Moore considers the United States' continued support for Israel amid the war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and says Democrats will face “more elections” if they continue to support the Jewish state. He suggested that he would lose.
“Senate Democrats should know better, and their actions in support of this invasion will only cost them more elections,” Moore said.

“It was an unprecedented rebuke to warn that millions of Americans are tired of Prime Minister Netanyahu's slaughter of innocent civilians,” he added, adding, “Of course, for Prime Minister Netanyahu, the Palestinians are They are not 'innocent' because they are not. “
Biden signaled on Tuesday that his administration would renew efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement in Gaza. The remarks came as the United States and France brokered a pause in fighting between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
“In the coming days, the United States, along with Turkey, Egypt, Qatar, Israel and others, will continue to work toward a ceasefire in Gaza that would allow for the release of hostages and an end to the war without Hamas's power,” Biden said. said Tuesday.
But the ceasefire in Lebanon got off to a rocky start, with both sides accusing the other of violating its terms.
