A Fox News alert today, the Biden administration will reportedly
call on the UN to push for a temporary ceasefire
in Gaza ahead of the Security Council's vote.
It's a sharp U-turn from Biden's claims about standing with
Israel and its fight to defend itself from Hamas terrorists
who murdered more than 1200 innocent Israelis and still holds
more than 100 hostage. GOP Congressman Corey Mills sits on
the Foreign Affairs Committee and was in Israel after the
Hamas attacks,
and he joins us now.
So Congressman, you know you,
when you look at what's happening on the ground,
when I talked to some of my friends at an
IDF,
those terrorists in Hamas are on the run.
Their leaders are trying to escape the country.
Why would we encourage A ceasefire now?
Well, unfortunately, Lawrence, this is about politics.
Joe Biden is worried about his upcoming reelection.
He has seen what Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has made comments
on in in Michigan with regards to the Muslims in
the area of Dearborn.
And this is this is purely politics over strategy.
Look, let's put this in perspective.
The Israelis. October 7th is the equivalent of
America's 911. And could you imagine the outrage if we
were told during our invasion of Afghanistan that we should
do a temporary ceasefire against Al Qaeda or against Taliban?
That's essentially what you're saying here.
And let's not forget, the Israeli forces have made it
very clear we are after the rescue of our hostages.
If Hamas was actually willing to release the hostages,
if Qatar was able to apply the necessary pressures,
then these these discussions wouldn't even need to be had.
But the reality is, is that the discussions have failed,
so military operations must ensue.
And that has actually resulted just recently in Gaza,
the rescue of two Israelis who are actually being held
hostage.
Well, Congressman, you alluded to this earlier.
It would seem or suggest that this has become political.
And these are the comments from squad member Rashida Tlaib.
She represents the Michigan area.
Let's watch.
It is also important to create a voting bloc,
something that is a bullhorn to say enough is enough.
We don't want a country that supports war,
wars and bombs and destruction.
We want to support life.
We want to stand up for every single life killed
in Gaza.
This is the way you can raise our voices.
Don't make us even more invisible.
Right now we feel completely neglected,
neglected and just unseen by our government.
If you want us to be louder,
then come here and vote uncommitted.
I mean, I don't understand how she's even still in
the House after comments like that continue.
She still is not condemning what's happening with Hamas.
Well, that's right. And not to mention the fact that
she was one of only two members in the entire
House chamber who voted present when it came to saying
that Hamas should not come here and get benefits under
immigration.
That's right. And so she has been pro Palestine the
same way as you have Ilhan Omar,
who has been pro Somali when both of them swore
an oath to protect America.
Look, the bottom line is that Joe Biden is continuing
to become more and more radicalized.
And even Joe Manchin has said that Biden,
back when he was a senator,
was not how he is today,
where he is falling prey to the radical left.
And so we need to be continuing to support
Israel's right to its defense.
We need to be continuing to look at strategies to
try and
go in and help to rescue the hostages who have
been held since October 7th.
But also, we have to understand that if Hamas is
on the run,
as you just talked about,
rightfully so, Lawrence, that we should be pushing to go
ahead and eliminate this terrorist organization because stopping halfway through,
we have seen, does not turn out well for the
opposing force.
And so this would embolden Iran.
This would make them feel as if it was a
victory,
and it would be substantially just rewarding them for the
murder and the heinous acts that occurred on October 7th.
We can't allow that. We must stand strong.
But Joe Biden's hypocrisy just has no bounds.
It's just a stupid military strategy when you have your
enemy on the run to allow them time to regroup.
Congressman, thanks so much for joining the program.
Thank you, Lawrence.
