On Friday's broadcast of NewsNation's "The Hill," Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) responded to President Joe Biden's criticism of Israel's military response to the October 7 terrorist attack as "over the top" by stating that the leadership of Hamas "needs to leave" Gaza and allow the area to be rebuilt for its civilian population and until that happens, the destruction in Gaza is "what happens when a terrorist organization...uses civilian buildings and civilians as human shields."
