In a recent appearance on “The View,” former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed her opposition to a cease-fire in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, instead advocating for “humanitarian pauses.” Clinton pointed to the October 6 ceasefire, which she said was violated by Hamas through its brutal attacks on civilians. He stressed that a ceasefire would not respect the laws of war and could benefit those who ignore those laws and the value of human life.
Clinton also emphasized that Hamas, which he labeled a terrorist organization, has a history of breaking ceasefires. He also stressed the importance of Israel adhering to the laws of war and doing everything possible to prevent and limit civilian casualties.
The former secretary of state explained that her initial rejection of a ceasefire was based on her belief that Hamas would exploit it for its own purposes. However, he noted that the situation is evolving, which has led him to support the “humanitarian pauses” proposed by the Biden administration.
Clinton has consistently spoken out against a cease-fire, including at the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy’s 30th anniversary event in late October, where she said a cease-fire fire would only help Hamas. He argued that those calling for a ceasefire now do not fully understand Hamas and that a ceasefire would allow Hamas to rebuild its armaments and strengthen its positions.
At least 10 Americans are feared to be among the 240 people held captive by Hamas.
In conclusion, Clinton’s position on the Israel-Hamas conflict is clear: she believes a cease-fire would only benefit Hamas, and instead supports the implementation of “humanitarian pauses.”
