On Friday’s “CNN News Central,” Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) stated that President Joe Biden’s threat to withhold certain weapons from Israel took pressure off Hamas and in doing so made it less likely to get a ceasefire deal, which makes it harder to get aid into Gaza and free the hostages.
Moskowitz said that while he has issues with the House bill to force Biden to transfer weapons to Israel, the bill won’t become law anyway, so those concerns aren’t hugely relevant, and “my main purpose for voting for the bill is what I said earlier when the President decided to hold back that particular weapon, which is, I want to get to a ceasefire, I want to get more humanitarian aid in there, and I want to get the hostages back. And the only way we’re going to do that is to get Hamas to agree to a ceasefire. Right now, the reason we don’t have a ceasefire, Israel agreed to the ceasefires proposed by the Egyptians, and then Hamas added additional terms, and that, unfortunately, blew up the ceasefire deal. So, we don’t have a ceasefire because Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, who’s buried in a tunnel, will not release the hostages and will not agree to a ceasefire, which puts these innocent Palestinians in peril. And so, without that pressure, it’s not going to happen. So, that’s why I disagreed with the President last week, because I looked at that as removing pressure from Hamas.”

Aid to Gaza is obscene too.
Unfortunately this worm is my congressman. He can’t stay off the TV because he has plans to run for Governor.
Florida will never vote for a far left extremist from Broward county. Bet on it.
Who are these “innocent Palestinians” he mentions? At most, there might be about a dozen who can be considered innocent. The rest are just as guilty as Hamas, they support the terrorists, by word and deed, they are future terrorist factories by teaching their children to hate, hate, hate the Jews. Their mother’s highest ambition is for their children to grow up to become martyrs. Bombing Gaza or Rafa is no different than bombing a munitions factory.
may (or may not) mean well, but is a very stupid remark.
giving Hamas more supplies (and Hamas is who gets them)... only enables, emboldens, and prolongs the Hamas terrorist murder gang and its Fakestinian Occupation of Gaza district
There should be no aid to Rafah. Israel should lay siege to to the city until the Gazans surrender.
You mean the aid that will be stolen by Hamas?
Biden will probably be gone in seven months, but Israel will still be there. In 4.5 years, Biden will be gone for sure, but Israel will still be there. Biden has been here, and he will have cast his foul stench on the world and be gone, but Israel will be here forever. Goodbye, Biden. Forever.
Moskowitz is scum.
