(Hill) Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is calling on President Biden to cancel visas for foreign nationals supporting Hamas in the wake of the terrorist group’s unprecedented attack on Israeli citizens near the Gaza Strip.
“America is the most generous nation on earth, but we cannot allow foreign nationals who support terrorist groups like Hamas and march in our streets calling for ‘intifada’ to enter or stay in our country,” Rubio said in a Saturday release.
Since the attack on Oct. 7 that has killed more than 2,800 people on both sides of the war so far, conflicting demonstrations have taken place across the U.S.
Thousands of pro-Palestine demonstrators gathered in New York City’s Times Square in support. This comes after Reuters reported Wednesday that former Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal called for Muslims to support the militant group that governs the Gaza Strip.
