US Lawmakers React to the Killing of Hostages by Hamas | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

On Capitol Hill, lawmakers are reacting swiftly to the killing of the hostages by Hamas. They want the killers found and an end to the war, but some Israeli experts say the US does not understand the motivations of Iran and Hamas. The latest killing of 6 hostages in Gaza is unifying lawmakers, against Iran, which we know is sponsoring Hamas and other terrorist groups. Experts say Iran is responsible and US lawmakers say Tehran must pay the price. Senator Lindsey Graham says, "Hamas could care less about the hostages or the Palestinians. And if you want the hostages home, which we all do, you have to increase the cost to Iran. Iran is the great Satan here. Hamas is the junior partner." House Speaker Mike Johnson released a statement saying in part, "The brutal murder of innocent hostages by Hamas shows the entire world the depravity of this terrorist regime and reminds us that Israel must not merely be allowed to defend itself, but supported in its effort to completely eradicate the threat of future attacks by Hamas..." A former Israeli Lieutenant Colonel, who spent 25 years as an intelligence officer says President Biden needs to stop following former President Obama's foreign relation beliefs.
