While at first, Biden steered clear from any language around a ceasefire between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas, he has since begun calling for a ceasefire to take place as soon as all of the hostages Hamas has in custody are released. Host Martha MacCallum asked Coons if the pro-Palestinian protesters who have threatened to not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-continuous-media-covid-fear-mongering-may-backfire-and-diminish-democrat-voter-turnout\/\" title=\"The Continuous Media COVID Fear Mongering May BACKFIRE and Diminish Democrat Voter Turnout\">vote<\/a> for Biden over the matter have won.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. Let me remind you what just happened. Two weeks ago, President Biden signed into law our annual appropriations bill that includes $3.8 billion in support for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Israel<\/a>,\u201d Coons said. \u201cI think this is a tactical disagreement that began with Prime Minister Netanyahu insisting he would go into Rafah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration has long disagreed that Israel Defense Forces should enter Rafah in southern Gaza, where many civilians have fled to avoid violence. IDF forces have since withdrawn from the area. Coons pointed to a supplemental request by Biden to include $14 billion more for Israel, along with funds for more foreign aid to other countries in need, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ukraine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Ukraine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been waiting for action by the House for weeks now, and it\u2019s my hope that Speaker [Mike] Johnson will put it on the floor this week,\u201d Coons said. \u201cIt will show Iran strong bipartisan determination to continue to support Israel in the face of Iran\u2019s threats if that supplemental passes the House this week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s call for a ceasefire came amid increasing pressure in Michigan to do so.
