EXCERPT:
POMPEO: "This is, at its core, about historic efforts by Iran to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Make no mistake about it, these were barbaric attacks, they're continuing. Women and children, there's now hostages being held. You know, I was on this very show a few weeks back talking about the fact that when the United States pays a billion dollars per hostage, there will be more hostage-taking. Look what happened yesterday. More hostages taken by the Iranian regime's proxy, Hamas, in Gaza. This is bad set of policies here. When I hear Mr. Finer talk about the fact that that decision to give them $6 billion did not matter, we cannot forget, too, we gave Palestinians $230 million on nearly day one of the Biden administration. The responsible party here are the leadership, the terrorists in the Gaza Strip, Hamas. They’re funded by Iran. And the United States policy to cozy up to Iran has created enormous risk for Israel, which we are seeing play out today. And then you should note, too, the Gulf states all are watching what Iran is doing here. They can see. This was a moment of clarity for the world. Do not avert your eyes.”
