New York Gov. Kathy Hochul apologized for an 'inappropriate analogy' after comments some said implied Israel has the right to destroy Gaza after Oct. 7.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul apologized for recent remarks in which she said Israel 'has a right to defend itself,' while making what she later called an 'inappropriate analogy' about Canada invading Buffalo, New York. 'Call out Hamas for what it is, and it is a terrorist organization that must be stopped.
The U.S. instead hopes to broker a cease-fire agreement and hostage release between Israel and Hamas, and envisions a wider resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called Hamas' demands 'delusional' and rejected U.S. and international calls for recognizing Palestinian statehood without going through negotiations without preconditions.
Netanyahu has vowed to continue the offensive until 'total victory' over the Hamas terrorist group and to expand it to Gaza's southernmost town of Rafah, where more than half the enclave's population of 2.3 million Palestinians has sought refuge, according to The Associated Press. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
