"Do you find it curious that the protesters who have been in the streets, the people we're hearing from Hollywood and elsewhere who have intent understandably on helping the people of, the Palestinians, the people in Gaza who are under bombardment and have been for some time and who are hungry, are starving, that now that this peace plan is before Hamas, we're not seeing that same pressure on Hamas? Should they be continuing their protest but focus on Hamas?"
"Shaheen fully agreed that all focus at the moment should be on Hamas, noting they kicked off the war with their Oct. 7 attack on Israel. We all should be focused on Hamas. They're the reason we're in this mess. They're a terrorist organization. Their rampage into Israel is unprecedented and it's what set off this war in Gaza that so many people are suffering from. So they need to come to the table. They need to release the hostages."
Dana Bash questioned why pro-Palestine protesters and public figures are not applying pressure on Hamas to accept President Trump's 20-point peace plan after Trump warned of severe consequences if the plan is not signed by the deadline. The president threatened dramatic action against Hamas if the agreement is not reached. Senator Jeanne Shaheen agreed that attention should be on Hamas, calling the group a terrorist organization and blaming its Oct. 7 attack for starting the war. Shaheen urged Hamas to come to the table and release the remaining hostages while humanitarian needs persist in Gaza.
