In a recent interview, Congressman Adam Smith, ranking member on the House Armed Services Committee, discussed President Biden's criticism of Israel's military conduct. President Biden had stated that Israel's actions were 'over the top,' marking his strongest disapproval of Israel to date.
Congressman Smith clarifies that it was President Biden who made the statement and not himself. He emphasizes the importance of addressing the future of the Palestinian people amidst the ongoing conflict. While acknowledging the need to combat Hamas and degrade its capabilities, the congressman believes that the Israeli government has not adequately articulated a plan for the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
