Part of this day after plan has to include the creation of an independent Palestinian state.

Gaza--Israel has a right to defend itself, and the U.S. needs to be a partner with Israel in defending itself against those who would annihilate it: Hamas, Iranian backed militias, Hezbollah, Houthis, Iran itself.

Leveling Gaza to the ground and unnecessarily killing thousands of innocent civilians in the process has a short term moral cost, but it has a long term strategic cost.

I do not think you would see USAID Administrator Power publicly stating that it is credible to assess that there is famine in Gaza.

I do not want us to lose credibility.

Palestinians have a right to live and not to be collectively treated as if they are part of a terrorist group when they are not.

I have been disappointed and expressed it publicly that the Israeli effort to support humanitarian aid to civilians... make this look to many that it is not just a defense against Hamas, but that it is a larger effort to target…

I want Hamas's ability to launch another terrorist attack destroyed.

Does anybody else just want to say something about this youth employment and kind of the opportunity to better connect young people either to school or work with WIOA.

I think the term that I've heard my colleague Bobby Scott use is Opportunity Youth, which I like.

Who's going to build it? Who's going to make it? This is a challenge that I'm hearing from all my employers.

That's why I have long been a champion of expanding Pell Grant to include high quality short-term education and training programs.

I really celebrate work that we've done in the last couple years to do an Infrastructure bill.

Not everybody can access a 4-year degree or even a 2-year degree. But we also know that by 2031, more than 70 percent of jobs will require some form of post-secondary education or training beyond high school.

I do believe the next expansion and flexibility of Pell should be for high quality, short-term education, and training programs.

Our community colleges are often really flexible.

I think to the extent that WIOA can be leveraged to create more of those paid work opportunities for young people...

Some call this group of people disconnected youth, but I think the term that I've heard my colleague Bobby Scott use is Opportunity Youth.
