On Friday's broadcast of CNN's "Inside Politics," Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) responded to a question on conditioning U.S.-Israel aid by saying, "I respectfully disagree. I feel like we should remain fundamentally supportive of the U.S.-Israel relationship," and that "Hamas has publicly said that it's intent on repeating October 7, and we ignore that threat at our own peril. So, I disagree." He also argued that "any attempts to fundamentally undermine the U.S.-Israel relationship will ultimately benefit Hamas, which had perpetrated the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, a fact that the world seems to have forgotten."
