On Thursday's broadcast of CNN's "Situation Room," Senate Majority Whip Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) said that he doubts Israel's assertions to the U.S. that it is using weapons provided by the United States in accordance with international law because of "The humanitarian disaster taking place in Gaza and the deaths of so many innocent people, including many women and children," and stated that "we need to challenge them...to be more specific in the evidence that they're presenting."
