Backing Biden, Pelosi calls for cease-fire in Israel Mike Lillis © Getty Images Backing Biden, Pelosi calls for cease-fire in Israel Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday called for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas militants, joining President Biden in urging the sides to end the escalating hostilities that have killed hundreds of people in recent days, including scores of Palestinian children. In a brief statement, Pelosi emphasized Israel s right to its own self-defense and placed the blame for the bloodshed squarely on Hamas - an echo of Biden s statement, which also stopped short of calling on Israel to stop its missile strikes immediately, as a growing number of liberal Democrats have done.
