The comments were described as "wrong," "repugnant," and "disgraceful."
Jean-Pierre's remarks came in response to a question from a reporter about the administration's stance on comments made by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO).

"I've seen some of those statements this weekend, and we're going to continue to be very clear. We believe they're wrong, we believe they're repugnant, and we believe they're disgraceful," Jean-Pierre stated.

She further emphasized the administration's condemnation of the terrorists who have committed heinous acts against Israelis. "Our condemnation belongs squarely with terrorists who have brutally murdered, raped, kidnapped hundreds, hundreds of Israelis. There can be no equivocation about that. There are not two sides here. There are not two sides,” she said.

Following the weekend's horrific acts by Hamas terrorists, members of the Squad issued statements urging the US to cease its support for Israel. Tlaib lamented the loss of Palestinian and Israeli lives, attributing the ongoing violence to the US's financial support for what she referred to as the "apartheid government."

Bush echoed Tlaib's sentiments, stating, "As part of achieving a just and lasting peace, we must do our part to stop this violence and trauma by ending US government support for Israeli military occupation and apartheid."
In the wake of reports of Israelis, including children, being killed by terrorists, Ocasio-Cortez and Omar called for a "ceasefire" between Israel and Hamas. Ocasio-Cortez described the day as "devastating for all those seeking lasting peace and respect for human rights in Israel and Palestine." She condemned the attacks but insisted that "this violence will not solve the ongoing oppression and occupation in the region. An immediate ceasefire and de-escalation is urgently needed to save lives."

Omar, on the other hand, equated Israeli victims killed by Hamas terrorists to Palestinians killed by Israel’s response. She wrote, "Just as we honor the humanity of the hundreds of innocent Israeli civilians and 9 Americans who were killed this weekend, we must honor the humanity of the innocent Palestinian civilians who have been killed and whose lives are upended," and then falsely accused Israel of being an "apartheid" state.

She also criticized the living conditions of Palestinians in the West Bank and the lack of recourse for justice against attacks by the IDF and settlers.
Omar concluded, "As the world is condemning Hamas’s attacks, we must also oppose an Israeli military response that has already taken the lives of hundreds of Palestinians, including nearly two dozen children."
