John James on NEWSMAX Discussing Hostages in Israel

Published | Video Starts at 02:41

Horrifying stories. We're looking at a possible extension of the ceasefire. Your take on what we're seeing today as it could be. The last transfer. Congressman James. I had the honor and privilege to go over to Israel to speak with the families who had loved ones who were taken and among them was that nine year old who turned nine years old on November 17 in Hamas. Captivity is absolutely unconscionable. What these evil, evil men and women have done to innocence, using these hostages, these human lives, as shields and as pawns to be played in their evil war. (02:41–02:57)

CLAIM

Asserts that he visited Israel and spoke with families of hostages, including a nine-year-old girl.
