Pelosi is scheduled to speak Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention.
If youll have a seat, we have to go to the commercial break.
There is a political protester here, Colbert said after the break.
Pelosi affirmed that the U.S. supports Israel.
Yes, weve had a commitment to Israel.
Its been in our security interest to do so, she said.
Israel was attacked by a terrorist organization.
Pelosi also said that she hopes Hamas will agree to a cease-fire.
Were hoping that Hamas will too.
But it takes me to the point of saying to you, war has no role in civilized society.
Colbert said her response was unsatisfying to some people.
When Colbert summarized the protests, the audience cheered.
Unless you have a two-state solution, you will not have a resolution of this.
A protester yelled again.
kindly dont interrupt my guests, Colbert said.
