Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), in a speech before the Israeli Parliament on May 19, condemned the terrorist group Hamas for the Oct. 7 attack that claimed 1,200 Israeli lives, and she called for the group’s elimination.
“Total victory starts—but only starts—with wiping those responsible for October 7th off the face of the earth. There can be no retrievable dignity for Hamas and its backers,” she said.
