From the CNN transcript:
[DANA] BASH: I desire to exact present an explanation for one thing, Senator, if I could well. You toughen a humanitarian conclude in Gaza. About a of your fellow progressives enlighten that there needs to be a fleshy-on conclude-fire, which could well require an settlement on either facet to conclude the battling.
Develop you make stronger a conclude-fire? And, if no longer, why no longer?
SANDERS: Smartly, I don’t know tricks on how to luxuriate in a conclude-fire, eternal conclude-fire, with a company esteem Hamas, which is dedicated to turmoil and chaos and destroying the reveal of Israel.
And I mediate what the Arab countries within the score realize, that Hamas has obtained to circulate. So what we desire right this moment, the immediate job right this moment’s to total the bombing, to total the horrific humanitarian catastrophe, to assemble, drag forward with the total world for a two-tier, two-reveal solution to the disaster to provide the Palestinian of us hope.
Sanders’s score lines up with that of President Joe Biden, who’s pushing for a “conclude,” ostensibly so as that humanitarian wait on convoys can enter Gaza extra without issues, and so as that hostages would be safely released, although Hamas has no longer said it could perchance perhaps perhaps score so.
Netanyahu has rejected the idea that of a “conclude” except Hamas releases the bigger than 240 hostages it took right through a brutal fear assault October 7 whereby it murdered bigger than 1,400 of us. Hamas has promised extra such attacks in opposition to Israel in future.
