Leaders on Capitol Hill are divided on whether Israel should agree to a ceasefire after six Hamas-held Israeli hostages were found dead in Gaza. >> Download the KOCO 5 AppU.S. Sen. Markwayne Mullin, the junior Republican senator from Oklahoma, argued that a ceasefire is the last thing that should happen. "What ends wars is when one side clearly wins, not a ceasefire, not when someone simply decides they’re going to fight another day," Mullin said. This weekend, protesters in Israel pushed for a ceasefire, saying it is the way to save the remaining hostages. President Joe Biden argued Monday that Israel's prime minister isn't negotiating in good faith. "It’s ridiculous that Biden would even say that, because Hamas could end this war tomorrow if they chose to," Mullin said. "If they were concerned about the lives of the individuals, they could release them too."The senator said that the U.S. should focus more on assisting Israel, not pushing them to the negotiating table. "That has to be us showing that we’re strong in supporting Israel and the right to defend themselves. Unfortunately, this administration isn’t willing to do that," Mullin said.
