Israeli ambassador pushes back on ‘ethnic cleansing’ charge from Democrats
Israel’s ambassador to the U.S. rejected claims by Senators Chris Van Hollen and Jeff Merkley that Israel is committing ethnic cleansing against Palestinians, stating these accusations are 'false and dangerous'.
Leiter emphasized that Israel's military actions are aimed at Hamas rather than the Palestinian people, countering accusations of ethnic cleansing.
Senators Van Hollen and Merkley reached their conclusions about ethnic cleansing after a week-long visit to the region.
Leiter noted that stability in the region requires Hamas to release hostages and called for an end to their reign of terror.
