Thousands of protesters gathered outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on Saturday to demand that the Israeli government ensure the return of the more than 200 hostages taken by Hamas.
On October 7, 2023, the fundamentalist Islamist organization Hamas committed an unprecedented terrorist attack against Israel on Yom Kippur, October 7, 2023, killing over 1,400 Israelis.
Responding to these accusations, the Israeli military claimed that the strike on the church was actually aimed at a nearby militant command center and that the incident was under review.
In the backdrop of this appeal, discussions have been initiated within the Biden administration, in collaboration with congressional members, to potentially curate a larger combined aid package.
"I’m not willing to say, to go so far to say that Netanyahu knew or there was intelligence here, but I think some questions need to be asked. Was there a stand-down order?" asked Charlie Kirk.
