Progressive Democrat Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri rejected plans for Israel to implement four-hour pauses in its military operations in Gaza as insufficient.
Far-left Squad member Rep. Cori Bush , D-Mo., rejected Israel 's 'four-hour pauses' of military operations in Gaza as insufficient before doubling down on her claim that Israel is engaging in ' ethnic cleansing ' of Palestinians . Addressing reporters at a rally in Washington, D.C., on Thursday that featured U.S. military veterans calling for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, Bush demanded that Israel 'stop the bombing' entirely.
Kirby also said Israel was opening a second corridor for civilians to flee the areas that are the current focus of its military campaign against Hamas. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected calls for a cease-fire in Gaza unless hostages are released by Hamas, but said during an interview this week that he would consider 'tactical little pauses.' 'It's not sufficient,' said Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa.
Asked how Israel should respond when Hamas says they will not stop terrorist attacks until all the Israelis are dead, Bush said, 'There's no military solution to this.' 'We can't bomb our way to peace,' she said, emphasizing that a cease-fire is the only way for diplomatic negotiations to resume. 'Did bombing get rid of the Taliban?' Bush asked, addressing her critics.
