Republicans are criticizing ‘Squad’ House Democrats who are calling for a ceasefire after Hamas’ deadly attacks on Israel.
The left-wing group put out statements following the devastating attacks which Israeli officials say have left at least 300 dead and with at least 1,500 injured.
Democrats Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Ilhan Omar lead condemnation of the attacks and called for a ceasefire.
‘Today is devastating for all those seeking a lasting peace and respect for human rights in Israel and Palestine. I condemn Hamas’ attack in the strongest possible terms,’ Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said.
‘No child and family should ever endure this kind of violence and fear, and this violence will not solve the ongoing oppression and occupation in the region.’
‘An immediate ceasefire and de-escalation is urgently needed to save lives.’
