Nancy Pelosi urges ‘humanitarian pause’ over revenge in Israel-Hamas conflict

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has called for a “humanitarian pause” in the Israel-Hamas war, emphasizing the need for justice rather than revenge. Pelosi condemned Hamas’ actions as barbaric and called for a different approach than a simple ceasefire. The Israeli government has rejected calls for a ceasefire, while some American politicians, including members of the “Squad” like Representative Summer Lee, have advocated for one. Pelosi also addressed the Republican Speaker’s race, calling for the selection of a speaker on the Republican side.
