Scott Jennings Confronts 'Palestinian Foreign Policy Commentator' On Hamas Holding Israelis Hostage

Posted • February 12, 2025: Scott Jennings confronted Rula Jebreal about Hamas still holding Israelis hostage, and what's next for Gaza with Trump now in office. Jennings was barely able to get a sentence in before Jebreal spewed pro-Hamas propaganda. As Jennings offered that "the reason we're here with this hostage situation this weekend is because Hamas decided to stop participating in the deal that was brokered as Donald Trump was coming into office," Jebreal jumped in to say "that's not accurate," claiming that "the Israeli newspapers today... say that Israel violated the ceasefire." She doubled down on that point, as other panelists also tried to jump in to speak to that. "But our ally--but our ally is Israel and you can't trust Hamas," Jennings reminded, which ought to be common knowledge, but apparently is not for the "Palestinian Foreign Policy Commentator," as Jebreal claimed that "our allies violated the ceasefire."

Jennings sought to remind her of why the Israel-Hamas war is going on today, which is because Hamas terrorists attacked on October 7, 2023, and killed 1,200 Israelis, with not even babies or Holocaust survivors being spared from gruesome fates. Hamas also engaged in torture, rape, and kidnapping, taking approximately 250 hostages. As Jennings aptly asked, his tone passionate, "Who started it in the beginning? Who started in the first place?" Jebreal did not properly answer the question, to put it most charitably towards her. If she was actually looking to answer the question, such a response looks to blame Israel, the victim. "Israel violated the ceasefire, killed 100 Palestinians during the ceasefire," she insisted.

"We're here because Hamas kidnapped, raped and murdered. And now they're violating this deal, which wasn't even a great deal to begin with. It did get a few people back, which I'm sure is the best of what we're going to see," Jennings reminded. "And so, what Donald Trump is trying to do right now is get this thing moving again because these people need to come back. That's number one. Number two, I think he just wants the other states in the Middle East to do something." - "They already offered him to do something," Jebreal insisted, saying not one word about the events of October 7. "And to take ownership of some people here. To take ownership of -- take responsibility for their own region and I hope they do," Jennings added, when he was able to speak once more.

Still not acknowledging October 7, Jebreal instead spoke out further against Trump. "There's the only one that actually put the proposition on the table four times and this is where it's honestly, you don't know what you're talking about and I'm sorry to say President Trump doesn't know what to say," Jebreal condescendingly claimed, despite Jennings having made very valid points, especially the objective truth about October 7 in the face of blatant pro-Hamas propaganda. "No, I think I do. I'm sorry that you and I disagree but I have a position and it's valid," Jennings fittingly reminded her, as the panel argued a bit more until the end of the show, with host Abby Phillip looking to let more panelists get in there to respond to Jebreal. 🚨 WOAH — Scott Jennings has HAD IT with being interrupted by this indignant "visiting professor" on CNN: JENNINGS: "I know it's your position to believe Hamas and not Israel… WHO STARTED IT IN THE BEGINNING?!"
