On Friday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Biden 2024 Campaign Co-Chair Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) argued that President Joe Biden needs to be tougher with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and push him towards "a counterterrorism strategy, rather than a massive ground campaign lasting many more months." Coons also stated that "if Hamas were to lay down arms tomorrow, if Hamas would release the hostages, the fighting would stop the next day." But the humanitarian toll of Israel's ground campaign is too high.
