Rep. Ilhan Omar is pushing the U.S. government to swap its provision of “unconditional weapons sales and military aid” to Israel for diplomacy.
Omar then said Israel’s response to the Hamas attacks could be considered a “war crime.”
“The Israeli Defense Minister has called Palestinians ‘human animals’ and promised to cut off all electricity, all food, and all fuel to civilians in Gaza,” Omar posted online.
This is collective punishment, a war crime, and the U.S. should oppose any violations of international law if we truly support a rules-based international order.

“This is collective punishment, a war crime, and the U.S. should oppose any violations of international law if we truly support a rules-based international order,” she added.
Omar pressed that “the solution to this horror, as ever, is a negotiated peace.”
“Instead of continuing unconditional weapons sales and military aid to Israel, I urge the United States at long last to use its diplomatic might to push for peace,” she said.
Omar was pulled from the House Foreign Affairs Committee in 2023 following the GOP’s control of the House.
The White House has confirmed at aleast 11 American deaths as a result of the Hamas attacks on Israel.
