House Dem to Blinken on Hamas attacks: 'Every one of these rockets was a war crime'
Fox News
California Democrat Brad Sherman denounced Hamas' indiscriminate rocket attacks, saying Monday that each of the 4,500 fired constituted a “war crime.”
Blinken was appearing before the House Foreign Affairs Committee to discuss his department's 2022 budget – just weeks after another flare up in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. During the hearing, Sherman emphasized the importance of Israel's missile defense system, the Iron Dome, and asked how the Biden administration would work to replenish it after it had intercepted thousands of rockets. Sherman told Blinken that Israel's missile defense system "saved countless Israeli civilian lives and also, countless Palestinian lives by helping bring this fight to a more speedy conclusion."More Related News
