Hillary Clinton's Stance on Ceasefire and Middle East Conflict

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton rejected calls for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war on "The View," instead supporting "humanitarian pauses." Clinton argued that Hamas consistently breaks ceasefires and that a premature ceasefire would benefit those who do not abide by any laws. However, she has recently endorsed the Biden administration's proposed humanitarian pauses due to changing circumstances. Clinton believes that a ceasefire would only help Hamas rebuild their armaments and create stronger positions. The war has resulted in thousands of casualties on both sides, including civilians and soldiers, with Americans among those held captive by Hamas.
