Former Vice President Mike Pence says President Joe Biden's failed and feckless leadership on the world stage is partly to blame for the Hamas attack in Israel.
"Since the outset of this administration, Joe Biden has projected weakness," Pence told Newsmax Saturday.
Pence also said he believes, "frankly, that leaders in the Republican Party that have been signaling retreat from America's role as leader of the free world have also contributed to this environment." Dozens of Hamas militants on Saturday broke out of the blockaded Gaza Strip and into nearby Israeli towns, killing dozens and abducting others in an unprecedented surprise early morning attack during a major Jewish holiday.
Israel's national rescue service said at least 200 people were killed and 1,100 wounded, making it the deadliest attack in Israel in decades. At least 198 people in the Gaza Strip have been killed and at least 1,610 wounded in Israeli strikes, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
