The U.N. said the evacuation warnings, which affects nearly half the Gaza population, could “transform what is already a tragedy into a calamitous situation.”
Rep. Randy Weber was eager to show a reporter his tie. It wasn’t just that it was an Israeli flag tie, a symbol of his unwavering support. He wanted her to see the back of the tie too, where a frayed tag served to indicate its age.
“I didn’t order it for this occasion,” Weber , said, referring to the days of solidarity and mourning that have followed a massive terrorist attack by the Hamas militant group on Israel. “I’ve had it for years.” U.S. lawmakers on Capitol Hill have been eager in the days since Hamas murdered 1,200 people and Israel declared war in response, to demonstrate the depths of their support for the Jewish state in its time of need.
