Sen. Van Hollen: I Believe It Was a Mistake for Dems to Support Netanyahu Addressing Congress

EXCERPT:

VAN HOLLEN: “I believe it was. I’ve expressed that view. But the reality is, obviously, he came. So, for those of us who thought it was a mistake to have him here, we expressed our views by — by not participating. And again, that was the message I got, not only from hostage families, but I also met, Robert, with a lot of Israeli families whose loved ones were victims of the October 7th Hamas attacks, who told me that neither Prime Minister Netanyahu or any member of his government had come to see them, had reached out to them. And their message to me, as I said on the Senate floor in a speech last week was, before he comes to the United States Congress, have him come look us in the eye and explain his responsibility in the intelligence failure that made the Hamas attack even worse.”
