U.S. lawmakers, including Senators Ted Budd and Joni Ernst, call on the Biden administration to demand Qatar expel Hamas from Doha due to their lack of interest in negotiating the release of hostages from Gaza, including American citizens. Representatives express support for Israel's right to defend itself and recover hostages, emphasizing the threat posed by Hamas. Efforts are urged to pressure Hamas and Qatar to secure the release of Israeli hostages, with a focus on keeping humanitarian aid away from terrorists.
Iran-backed Hamas is the reason Americans are dead, Gaza is in crisis, & Israel is under attack. Any humanitarian aid should be kept out of terrorists’ hands, must not further risk the safety of our service members, & used strategically to bring our hostages home immediately. https://t.co/SWpHBhn66s
Instead of pressuring Israel, the international community ought to be exerting all their leverage over Hamas and Qatar, to have the Israeli hostages released. https://t.co/jF7idnxjmL
Make no mistake, Hamas still poses a significant threat and holds American and Israeli hostages. I fully support Israel’s right to defend itself and recover hostages. After 9/11, America wouldn't stand for another sovereign nation telling us not to eliminate Afghanistan's terror… https://t.co/e00yWlb95y
It is crystal clear that Hamas has no interest in reasonable negotiations to release hostages from Gaza, including U.S. citizens. The Biden admin must demand that Qatar expel Hamas terrorists from Doha immediately. https://t.co/dMsxUtvF50
Enough is enough. It is crystal clear that Hamas has no interest in reasonable negotiations to release hostages from Gaza, including U.S. citizens. @SenJoniErnst and I urge the Biden administration to demand that Qatar expel Hamas from Doha immediately. https://t.co/9EqIQs6DGL
