Republicans in the House and Senate are hammering President Biden for taking a harsher stance against Israel in the wake of an IDF airstrike that killed seven humanitarian aid workers.
House Republican leadership is blasting President Biden after he suggested the U.S. could curb its support for Israel if it did not do more to protect civilians in Gaza. 'There's only one group of people who stand to benefit from conditions to Israel aid, and that is Hamas. Once again, Joe Biden is empowering barbaric terrorists by undermining our strongest ally in the Middle East,' House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., told Fox News Digital on Friday.
Sen. John Barrasso, R–Wyo., said President Biden 'needs to support Israel’s fight to protect its people and defeat terrorists.' 'He will fall on the wrong side of history if he turns his back on our ally,' he said. Israel has been at war with Hamas in Gaza since shortly after Oct. 7, when militants from the terrorist group invaded southern Israel and killed more than 1,200 people — mainly civilians. The Palestinian death toll since Oct. 7 is over 30,000, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between fighters and civilians.
