A video surfaced showing U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg suggesting the use of nuclear weapons on Gaza, sparking outrage from fellow politicians and constituents. Walberg's spokesman claimed the comments were taken out of context, but the video showed his response to a constituent's question about humanitarian aid. Several Democrats, including U.S. Rep.

The video has reignited the debate over the Israeli-Hamas conflict and the U.S.'s role in providing aid to Gaza.
