Republican Sen. Ted Cruz sharply criticized President Biden this week, saying he's shown "weakness" to Hamas and accusing him of having "emboldened" the terror group amid violence with Israel. Cruz, R-Texas, toured Israel’s Iron Dome rocket-defense system and viewed damage in Ashkelon on Monday, just days after the fighting between Israel and Hamas came to a stop. BIDEN TRIES TO CLAIM CREDIT FOR CEASE-FIRE BETWEEN ISRAEL, HAMAS"The longer Joe Biden shows weakness to Hamas or Hezbollah or Iran, the more you’re going to see terrorist attacks escalating," Cruz told The Associated Press on Monday. ISRAEL OFFICIALS APPROVE CEASE-FIRE WITH HAMASBefore the cease-fire took effect, Hamas had fired over 4,000 rockets toward Israeli cities, while Israeli warplanes struck some 1,000 targets in Gaza. Israel blames Hamas for the heavy civilian casualties because Hamas launches attacks from residential areas.
