On Thursday's broadcast of NewsNation's "The Hill," House Armed Services Committee Ranking Member Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) said that the White House "needs to clean...up" President Joe Biden's comments on Israel to CNN "and reiterate our support for Israel," because "To the extent it looks like we are separating from Israel, that just gives Hamas all the more incentive to keep fighting." He also called on the White House to push the message that Hamas is holding up a ceasefire.
