Tammy Baldwin: “Israel has the right to defend itself.”

“A little over a year ago, on October 7, we saw a horrible terrorist attack on Israel. 1200 people dead. Rape was used as a weapon of war. Hostages were taken. Israel has the right to defend itself. But as we've seen this war unfold, we've also seen untold civilian casualties. Children, women. We have to help foster a path towards ceasefire so that the hostages can be released and so that humanitarian aid can be surged into Gaza.” (29:04–29:07)
