"Margaret Brennan challenges Palestinian ambassador on Hamas stance during interview with Israeli ambassador"

CBS News anchor Margaret Brennan pressed Palestinian Ambassador to the U.K. Husam Zomlot over his failure to condemn Hamas and its recent attacks on Israel. Zomlot called for the U.S. to recognize the Palestinian state and be the peacemaker instead. The interview highlighted the Israeli government's withholding of tax revenues due to the Palestinian Authority's alleged inadequate condemnation of Hamas. Zomlot emphasized that the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) represents the Palestinian people, not the Palestinian Authority. The discussion also touched on the U.S. designating the PLO as a terrorist organization and the need for accountability. President Biden has called for a concentrated effort towards a two-state solution, but Israel has vowed to eliminate Hamas.
