Dozens of Democrats backing ‘temporary pause’ in Gaza fighting for hostage release

Nearly 30 Democratic lawmakers have sent a letter to President Biden backing a “temporary pause” in fighting in Gaza to ease the release of remaining hostages and to provide aid for civilians displaced by the war.

The letter said the representatives are “encouraged by the news of progress” in hostage and cease-fire negotiations and applaud the Biden administration’s “work with Israel, Egypt, Qatar and others to advance progress.”

The Democrats are calling for a temporary pause to “not only help release the hostages and give desperately needed relief to the millions of civilians displaced by this war, it can also open a path to permanently ending the conflict.”

Reps. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) and Jimmy Panetta (D-Calif.) were joined by 27 Democratic colleagues in urging the president to continue talks of a temporary pause in fighting so food, water, medicine and other essential supplies can be delivered to civilians in the region.

What, no letter requesting a pause in the Russia/Ukrainian war to ease the tension of a possible WWIII that could kill hundreds of millions?

no way in Hell will we EVER support the D party if they keep up their antisemitic attacks and support for Fakestinian terrorists like Hamas and PLO, open USA borders that let Arab terrorists and Communist Chinese operatives into USA, and shipping money and protecting the Iranian dictators who have sworn to destroy America with the nuclear ICBM’s theyre building

the D party bosses are not just in all this for the billions of dollars they steal from us, they are just downright EVIL and we really need to defeat them OUT of Congress ASAP!

There are a lot more Muslim voters than Jewish voters, who are taken for granted by the Democrats.

GTH leftists.
It’s not your country and treacherous murderous Hamas is not dealing from the top of the deck.
They are evil and looking for another chance to murder Israeli’s by breaking any deal made just like the last deal.

The anti-Israel scum are identifying themselves, making it easier for decent people to primary them and throw them bodily out of office.

Are these the same Democrats that are pushing for increased military aid to Ukraine or a different lot of idiots?
