Rep. André Carson Evades Question on Hamas Terror Designation

The Indiana Democrat sidesteps the issue, focusing instead on the need for a Palestinian state and predicting the conflict's impact on the 2024 elections.

  • Democratic Rep. André Carson of Indiana has repeatedly avoided answering whether he agrees with the designation of Hamas as a terrorist organization.
  • Carson instead emphasized the need for establishing a proper state for Palestinians and condemned the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel.
  • Israel has launched a war effort in response to the October 7 attack, causing civilian casualties and prompting calls for a ceasefire from Carson and others.
  • Carson has suggested that the issue of Hamas and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict could impact the 2024 elections.
  • Despite Carson's evasion, the U.S. State Department has maintained its designation of Hamas as a terrorist organization since 1997.
