Keep Pressure on China to Condemn Hamas Attacks: Former Senator Doug Jones

‘It’s hard to gauge what they were doing other than just trying to play both sides against the middle,’ Mr. Jones said of the CCP’s initial statements.

Former Alabama Democrat Senator Doug Jones is keeping the pressure on the Chinese Communist Party to more forcefully condemn the Palestinian terrorists that launched an extensive coordinated attack from Gaza on Oct. 7, killing hundreds of Israeli civilians.

In an interview with NTD News’ “Capitol Report” on Thursday, Mr. Jones said a forceful condemnation of the Oct. 7 attacks by the Chinese regime “could have a dramatic effect” on the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group, by signaling to its partners in the region that the Chinese people won’t condone the violence from the Palestinian side.
