What the president is trying to do, he is trying to make clear to Netanyahu and his right-wing extreme– extremist government is, yes, you can go to war against Hamas, but you cannot go to war against the Palestinian people and cause the…
It would be irresponsible for the United States to give Netanyahu another $10 billion to continue to wage this awful war.

But, at the end of the day, when somebody is saying they believe in genocide for the Jewish people or racist attacks against black Americans, or et cetera, that is not acceptable.

I suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The assistant bill clerk called the roll. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Hawaii.
I rise to say a few words about the awful situation in the Middle East. As you know and the American people know, there have been five wars--five wars--in the last 15 years between Israel and Hamas. How do we end the current one and…
