Hogan spoke out against Hamas's October 7 massacre, denouncing the terrorist attack.
"I am extremely devastated with the appalling acts of horror by the hands of the Hamas terrorist group. The murders and kidnapping of the Jewish people in Israel have absolutely no right to happen in the world we live in.
