Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis says the United States shouldn't take in any Palestinian refugees if they flee the Gaza Strip because they are “all antisemitic.” And he's dismissing international entreaties for Israel to provide clean running water and utilities to the 2.3 million civilians in the territory.
FILE - Republican Presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks during the Politics & Eggs program at Saint Anselm College, Friday, Oct. 13, 2023, in Manchester, N.H. The Republican Party’s White House hopefuls are offering conflicting messages on the growing foreign policy challenges. A presidential election that has long been centered on domestic kitchen-table issues is suddenly shifting its focus abroad with the Israel-Hamas war.
“You have Israelis being held hostage, as well as Americans being held hostage, but I don’t think they are under an obligation to be providing water and these utilities while those hostages are being held. Hamas should return those hostages before any discussions are had,” DeSantis told CBS’s “Face The Nation.”A third-generation Israeli soldier has been missing for over a week. Her family can only wait.
Israel’s ambassador to the U.S. Michael Herzog, also drew distinctions between the Palestinian people and Hamas. “Our enemy is Hamas. It’s not the Palestinian people. It’s not the innocent civilians,” he said on CNN.
