USAID Admin.: Hamas Hides in Civilian Targets, But Israel Undermines 'Legitimacy' of Its Effort when It Hits Them There

On Thursday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Deadline: White House," USAID Administrator Samantha Power acknowledged that "Hamas is willing to cause its own civilians to pay the price and willing to set up shop in places where civilians are gathered," but Israel has "to respect schools and mosques and facilities where civilians are gathered." And that, even when terrorists take advantage of civilian infrastructure, "to go forward and attack civilian targets sets back the cause fundamentally. It means that the legitimacy of the effort is undermined."
