Dan Rodricks: Sen. Ben Cardin expects unified response to Hamas, despite Israel’s internal conflicts

Benjamin Cardin, Maryland’s senior U.S. senator and chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, says he expects aggressive retaliation by Israel against Hamas forces in the Gaza Strip following the deadly surprise attacks by Palestinian militants on Israelis over the weekend. In an interview Monday, the Democratic senator, long engaged in foreign affairs and U.S.-Israel relations, expressed outrage at the killing of civilians and predicted Israeli solidarity in response to the attacks.
