Senate GOP members lob attacks against the Biden administration's $6 billion deal with Iran in exchange for American prisoners and slam calls from the 'Squad' for a cease-fire.
Senate Republicans are turning up the heat on the Biden administration’s $6 billion Iran deal in exchange for American prisoners, which they say may have helped fund Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel that has killed at least 700 people and injured 2,000 others. The deal, which was reached last month, allowed the transfer of Iran's frozen assets held in a South Korean bank to accounts in Qatar. The administration said the money can only be used for humanitarian purposes and the U.S.
Thousands of rockets were launched into southern Israel from the Gaza Strip as Hamas terrorists announced 'Operation Al-Aqsa Storm' and called on Palestinians from Jerusalem to Israel to attack Israelis. 'There can be no tolerance for calls of de-escalation. Israel is at war and I pray that its forces destroy every last terrorist thug responsible for these atrocities,' Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., posted to X on Sunday.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., shot back at the group on X, saying, 'Hamas exists for one reason alone, to wipe out the Jewish state of Israel. 'So Israel has only one option in response to yesterday’s barbaric attack, the permanent elimination of Hamas,' he continued. 'Anyone demanding Israel not ‘escalate’ or calling for a ‘cease-fire’ is either out of touch with this unfortunate reality or sympathizes with Hamas.' Israel formally declared war on Hamas after the attack.
