Mike Waltz warns ceasefire in Gaza will not bring permanent peace

Published September 23, 2024 3:53pm ET



Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) warned the Biden administration that seeking a ceasefire in Gaza will not resolve the conflict in the Middle East, as it will only be a matter of time before the Hamas terrorist group attacks again.

Waltz explained that the administration is focused on “the wrong place” with its current focus on reaching a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel and that it should instead be focusing on Iran. He added that as long as Iran is “flush with cash,” neither the country nor Hamas will have any interest in achieving peace.
