Rep. Richard McCormick, R-Ga., told Newsmax Wednesday that United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ statement on Tuesday regarding Israel and the Palestinians “does not help” the current state of the conflict.
“The fact that Israel broke down the settlements, moved out of Gaza, gave them all the room they needed and then they were attacked and literally the egregious evils that we saw,” he continued. “I mean, I've never seen anything like that. I'm an ER doc, and I'm a guy who was a veteran from Afghanistan. I was the head of emergency medicine and I saw some horrible things. This exceeds all of that, and there is no excuse for this.
"It is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum,” Guterres said. “The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation. Israel’s U.N. Ambassador Gilad Erdan called Guterres’ speech “shocking” and demanded he resign immediately. Guterres said Wednesday that he was “shocked by the misrepresentations by some” of his statement.
