When asked on CBS’ Face the Nation about photographs of starving children in Gaza, Van Hollen said, “It’s very hard to look at those pictures. And the United States has been complicit. President Trump was in the region and really did nothing, said virtually nothing about what’s happening in Gaza, which is on fire”.
“At a time of widespread apathy and complacency regarding the the Israeli regime’s escalated genocide in Gaza, we commend Senator Van Hollen’s moral clarity and consistency regarding the dire need for global intervention to save lives. His willingness to speak out against policies that perpetuate suffering and to hold our own government accountable for its role in this devastating crisis reflects leadership that is crucial as every second counts. We urge all members of Congress to follow Senator Van Hollen’s lead in upholding international law and human rights for Palestinians and advocating for an end to the Israeli regime’s war crimes”.
