Rashida Tlaib proposes resolution on Gaza conflict

Democratic lawmaker Rashida Tlaib has introduced a resolution in Congress to recognize Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide, despite its slim chances in the Republican-controlled House. Co-sponsored by 20 Democratic members, the proposal calls for ending U.S. weapon transfers to Israel and supports investigations into the alleged atrocities. The resolution highlights the ongoing violence against Palestinians, with over 69,000 reported deaths, and is backed by prominent progressive figures. More than 100 rights groups endorse the measure, emphasizing the U.S. duty under the Genocide Convention to prevent such crimes.
