In a local news radio "Radio Worcester", McGovern has shown support for Israel on Oct 12 to "defend itself" from Hamas. But also clarifies that Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people. On Oct 18, he called for a ceasefire in a statement with Democratic U.S. Reps. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., Greg Casar, Joaquin Castro, and Veronica Escobar, of Texas, as well as U.S. Reps. Barbara Lee, of California, and Jesús G. “Chuy” García, of Illinois. They clarify in this statement that "our call for a ceasefire should not be mistaken as a lack of support for the protection of the people of Israel. To the contrary, it is because of our dedication to the safety of both Israelis and Palestinians that we seek a path forward without further escalating the toll of civilian dead and injured," Also, James P McGovern has taken $22,000.00 in Pro-Israel donations across the 2022, 2020, 2024 election cycles (from OpenSecrets.org via ContributionBot).
