Senator Chuck Schumer's Address on Israeli-Palestinian Peace and Two-State Solution

Published | Video Starts at 21:50

A permanent ceasefire effective immediately would only allow Hamas to regroup and launch further attacks on Israeli civilians. There can never be a two state solution if Hamas has any significant power.
