Gov. Ron DeSantis said the United States should not accept refugees who are fleeing the Gaza Strip, even as the war between Israel and the Hamas militant group intensifies over the weekend.
However, DeSantis remained adamant the U.S. “cannot accept people from Gaza into this country as refugees,” arguing instead that surrounding “Arab states” should take them in. “If you look at how they behave, not all of them are Hamas, but they are all antisemitic,” DeSantis said. “None of them believe in Israel's right to exist.”
DeSantis's comments run counter to what the Israel Defense Forces have said as well. The army has been criticized for warning civilians to evacuate their homes and cities in northern Gaza ahead of an invasion intended to eradicate Hamas. But the warning came because the Israeli army is concerned about the"humanity" of noncombatants and wants to leave them out of the line of fire, an IDF spokesman said.
