Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis says 2024 GOP field should be against potential Gaza refugees

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that 'the U.S. should not be absorbing any' of the potential refugees from Gaza.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said Sunday that the potential refugees from Gaza who could be looking to come to the U.S. should not be allowed into the country, and he challenged the rest of the Republican presidential field to take the same stance.

As Florida's governor, he signed an executive order on Thursday to allow flights to transport Florida residents in Israel back to the state. DeSantis has said those planes, carrying 'hundreds of people,' are expected to land sometime Sunday afternoon. With Israel cutting off water and electricity to Gaza, DeSantis said he doesn't think Israel is 'under an obligation to be providing water and these utilities' while hostages are held by Hamas.
