Pelosi on Israel-Hamas War: ‘I Think the Humanitarian Pause Is the Appropriate Way to Go’

EXCERPT:

PELOSI: “The cease-fire, I think the humanitarian pause is the appropriate way to go. Look, what Hamas did was barbaric in Israel. It was barbaric, it was outside the circle of civilized human behavior. If it happened to your family, you would want justice. I am not talking about revenge, I am saying justice. So there has to be some other place we go instead of just saying, 'Let’s have a cease-fire.' I mean, we had a cease-fire in May. That was broken by Hamas on October 7th. So, let’s remember that. But there may be a few votes in our caucus who may not support the package, but I think by and large, it will be overwhelmingly supported. We just have to get a speaker on the Republican side — they won, they've got the confidence of the American people, now they should show they’re worthy of that confidence by at least electing a leader, a speaker, so that we can conduct a business of Congress. That includes coming forth with this package and then keeping government open after that. But to your point, I think that there may be a few votes against, and some of those votes have been vocal, but overwhelmingly, there will be support for it on the Democratic side."
