United Nations Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese sparked outrage after a recent speech in which she defended Hamas, downplaying its terror record and calling it a legitimate "political force."
On Tuesday’s PBS NewsHour, Matan Eshet, cousin of Israeli hostage Evyatar David, said Hamas is emboldened when the international community ignores the terrorist group’s theft and exploitation of humanitarian aid entering Gaza.
Senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad openly celebrated that fruits of October 7—the terrorist attack that murdered over 1,200 Israelis—are now producing political gains in the West.
President Trump suggested that the United States will increase its involvement in the conflict in Gaza because "you have a lot of starving people," he told reporters in Scotland.
Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil refused to condemn Hamas during a CNN interview on Tuesday, despite repeated questioning from anchor Pamela Brown. Khalil, previously detained by the Trump administration for pro-Hamas-aligned protests, dismissed the inquiry as “disingenuous” and accused Israel of targeting civilians.
