Israelis evacuate a site struck by a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip, in Ashkelon, southern Israel, Monday, Oct. 9, 2023. WASHINGTON – With Israel reeling from the worst daily death toll of Jews since the Holocaust, Texans in Congress raced to declare support Monday and in some cases, to turn the war to political advantage.
With 2 million people packed into a tiny territory, Gaza is among the most densely populated places in the world. Rooting out the militants could entail mass casualties and the White House signaled that would erode U.S. support for Israel. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, an Austin Democrat, reaffirmed U.S. support and denounced “the criminal actions of Hamas” but cautioned that “while a forceful military response is necessary, we should be encouraging strategies that minimize the loss of civilian life and maintain peace in the West Bank.”“In Israel, politics has been put aside in favor of a united response to this outrageous violence.
He and the committee’s top Democrat, New York Rep. Gregory Meeks, say they’re working to get Israel whatever it needs from Congress despite the dysfunction in the House, where legislative action is stalled until a new speaker is elected. A cease-fire now, as others pointed out, would leave Israel unable to retaliate and impose a price for the brutal surprise attack.
