Mr. Speaker, horrified by seeing a baby's arm blown off, the President successfully demanded the Israeli Prime Minister to halt the bombing. President Ronald Reagan also halted deliveries of weapons, but today's Republicans don't want America to lead; they would defer the decisions about the best course for America to Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir. They would place us on a disastrous path of isolation and greater Mideast instability. They attack President Biden now for halting delivery of 2,000-pound dumb bombs that are used in ways he rightly described as ``indiscriminate bombing'' that pulverizes large areas and kills and mutilates thousands of innocent women and children. Leveling Gaza, starving, and killing a multitude offers Israel no genuine victory over Hamas, no end to the cycle of violence. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Weber of Texas). The time of the gentleman has expired.
