DeSantis says US shouldn’t take in refugees from Gaza: ‘I am not going to do that’
Fox News
2024 presidential candidate Ron DeSantis says the U.S. should not accept any refugees from Gaza, just as the area is seeing significant humanitarian displacement.
DeSantis was speaking a week after the Hamas terror attack against Israel that killed over 1,300 Israelis. Israel has since launched a counterattack against Hamas in Gaza, sparking a significant displacement of the population. The United Nations has said that more than 423,000 Gaza citizens have been displaced. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
