bill: in the middle east you have a lot of action there. one allegation that hamas is in southern gaza and using hostages as human shields. therefore the idf won t go after him. maybe it s true. in all likelihood it is. secretary blinken is trying to prevent a wider war. when you see what iran is doing now, how do we how do you judge how this administration has pushed back against that regime? let me begin just by briefly talking about hamas and hostages. i would argue hamas is using the entire population of gaza as hostages from the beginning of this conflict. they ve chosen to embed their headquarters, rocket units, forces in the middle of hospitals, mosques and high density personal areas that put israel in the difficult situation. i have no problem believing that the leader of hamas has hostages
