Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips Expresses Disappointment with ‘Squad’ Over Response to Hamas Attack on Israel

What’s happening?

Democratic Representative Dean Phillips, a potential primary challenger to President Biden, has voiced his disappointment with the group of progressive House Democrats, often referred to as the “Squad”, for their response to the recent Hamas attack on Israel.

Why does it matter?

The criticism from Phillips highlights a growing divide within the Democratic party over its stance on Israel. The response of the ‘Squad’ to the Hamas attack has been seen by some as a lack of support for Israel, a key ally of the United States. This could potentially influence the party’s foreign policy decisions and its relationship with Israel going forward.

What’s next?

It remains to be seen how this internal conflict within the Democratic party will play out and what impact it will have on the party’s position on Israel. The reaction of the ‘Squad’ and other progressive Democrats to future events in the Middle East will be closely watched.
