As the conflict in Israel approaches one month and the toll of civilian casualties climbs, the Biden administration warns Iran and Hezbollah against attacking Israel. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, joins Andrea Mitchell after signing onto a letter calling for a ‘cessation of hostilities,’ but not a full ceasefire. “I do not support a ceasefire. I do not believe that Israel should stand down in their fight to hold Hamas accountable,” Sen. Murphy tells Andrea. “I think that would just give Hamas more time to rearm and attack Israel again. But I do believe that the size of the civilian casualties have been too high. And ultimately I think that that will frustrate Israel’s war plan which is to defeat Hamas.”

Sen. Murphy: ‘I do not support a ceasefire,’ but ‘size of civilian casualties have been too high’
#Israel #Hamas #Gaza
American support of Palestinian genocide will lose Biden the election.
We do not need Representatives like him. There is a need for better, more humane people than this gentleman.
In war, there is no "too high" or "too low". There's just reality…and opinion.
Meanwhile, innocent Palestinians are dying from Israeli bombs…
I am at a loss for words, these are human beings, so many innocent women and children.
Sleeping 😴 joe biden already with bloody ✋
Senator Murphy is complicit
Just evil! Notice how it's just all the elite white men with this dumb narrative. Natenyahu is trying to use the bible to justify, but honestly, America and Israel, God is talking about the REAL Israel the country before they colonized land that wasn't theirs!
How are they going to get the hostages out if there is indiscriminate bombing . They are not interested about these hostages , their bs will be exposed as it happened already
Are you kidding me? This is a ge no ci de. And you want a pause?? You are making me sick.
Tell AIPAC to vote for you AH
Do you really care about public opinion 😅😅
Hypocrite……..
War crimes committed by usa and Israel
I find your reporters coments disrespectful and ignorant
does not he contradict himself?
Unbelievable cowardice. Shame on you, Murphy. Grow a pair and denounce Israel's monstrous genocide against the Palestinians!
Literally if they just stop the indiscriminate bombing civilian casualties would drop dramatically. It wasn't bombs that got bin Laden. It was special forces. All bombs ever got us was ISIS.
Wow he said we were too casual about civilian casualties!
Excellent common sense remarks from Senator Murphy. Thank you.
Stop War Crimes!!!!!!
The call for a cease fire is to save Hamas leadership, not the innocents. Otherwise, they wouldn't have such a lack of concern for it's innocent population
They are all in the pocket of Jewish lobbyists.
warmongering should be added to the Democrat platform.
This is just speculation but what if the hostages are being placed throughout Gaza and are not in the tunnels? They could be killed by the constant bombings of the Israeli government if they are being placed throughout Gaza by Hamas.
Bidens foreign policies at work.
More idle threats from the Biden administration? You see what the idle threats got you with Putin?
And this coward want to disarm Americans, but is ok dropping bombs on the innocent people of Gaza. He's a coward and a clown!
They're killing too many innocent civilians, but I'm against a cease fire. Vote this war monger out.
Its been 30 days of bombing bro. The hostages are not a priority
Chris Murphy is one of the more knowledge people, but at 5% interest rates with the potential to go higher if inflation does not break and a recession if it does, and up from 0% from 2022; you are not scaring anyone whether allies or enemies.
Actually, he might expediate dedollarization and drive US interest rates up with inflation depending on the meeting up.
When did Senator Murphy become so callous about civilians dying?
Democrats are a joke ……
Israel is not the injured Party. The Palestinian people are. And have been for decades.
You seem to be confused about which way is up and which way is down, including the depth of our involvement.
If Hamas is so upset about civilian casualties maybe they should stop using civilians as human shields?
They talk about Ukrainian where is same respect for Palestinian children where are u thos they said Russian doing gonecid in Ukrainian why don't u say same things about poor Palestinian man woman children where is your heart im guessing that heart is dad for Palestinian children only Israeli and Ukrainian Metter to western countries shame on those people in politics and to afraid to speak out what Israeli has done for your country that u so afraid to speak out thank you for those standing up for Palestinian
NO CEASE FIRE! NEVER!
Whose casualty numbers is he taking? Hamas?
72 hour, 5150 hold? Would only work once, if that hasn't past.
Totally agree with you
…Senator…..
Murphy is against gun violence in US but apparently bombs don't bother him. What has happened to our humanity?
