President Biden is facing criticism from both Republicans and Democrats over the escalating violence between Israel and Palestine in the region that saw a Hamas rocket attack take aim at Jerusalem. Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., demanded the Biden administration "strongly condemn Hamas," the Palestinian terror group that launched rockets at Jerusalem as the city was celebrating Jerusalem Day on Monday. "The Biden Administration should strongly condemn Hamas and other terrorists that are exploiting tensions in Jerusalem to carry out rocket attacks against innocent civilians," Hagerty tweeted. "They’ve given away all leverage right up front, and we’re seeing this is a theme with the Biden administration in terms of handing out cash hoping it fixes the situation," the congressman said. "I have yet to hear anybody from the Biden administration declare that."
