AOC: Biden Admin. Should Be More Thorough in Enforcing Red Line in Rafah, Rein in Israel Aggression
EXCERPT:
OCASIO-CORTEZ: “For example, I do not believe that it is constructive to invite Prime Minister Netanyahu to a joint address of Congress, and many foreign leaders use this opportunity to lobby the entire Congress and the U.S. government for their own needs or for a certain view of their priorities. I don’t believe that that is a constructive role for us to be playing right now. I believe that we should be more thorough in enforcing a red line at Rafah. I believe that while there was one individual weapons transfer that was blocked, I think that we could be doing more to be investigating this. I believe that the sanctions with respect to the West Bank, we want to make sure that we are fully enforcing each and every one of the laws that we already have on the books to the fullest extent possible in order to rein in the aggression, as well as, I think, the extraordinary incentive that the Netanyahu administration has to continue its campaign in Rafah. They themselves have their own political pressures that they are responding to, and I think that is both domestic and international, and we have to make sure we are not playing into that hand either."
