Ro Khanna attempts to take Israel hostage
California Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), a likely 2028 presidential candidate, appeared on the Coleman Hughes podcast “Conversations with Coleman” on Aug. 10. He was rightly challenged on his antisemitic claim that Israel committed genocide in Gaza. The congressman’s response revealed that when faced with facts contradicting his narrative, he resorts to lies to justify his position.Hughes noted that genocide requires intent, and the facts show that once Israel got all of its hostages back in October 2025, it agreed to a ceasefire and ended the main fighting. In response, Khanna lied. He claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu turned down numerous offers of a substantially similar deal to get all the hostages back and end the war.This is absolutely false.

During an August 10 appearance on the “Conversations with Coleman” podcast, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) falsely claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected multiple hostage deals that would have ended the conflict in Gaza. The article asserts that the deal accepted by Netanyahu, which secured the release of 33 hostages in January 2025, was the first that did not require Israel to withdraw from all of Gaza, a condition that would have allowed Hamas to rebuild. Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration, through negotiators Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner, reportedly informed Hamas that continued hostage-holding would lead to their destruction, which the article credits with prompting Hamas to agree to a deal without an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
