US congresswoman says Israel has ‘resumed its genocide’
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has called for sanctions and an arms embargo against Israel amid the renewed bombing of Gaza.
“The Israeli apartheid regime has resumed its genocide, carrying out air strikes all across Gaza and killing hundreds of Palestinians. This comes after a complete blockade of food, electricity, and aid,” Tlaib said in a social media post.
“They will never stop until there are sanctions and an arms embargo.”
They never stopped though, moved on to the Westbank which is now entirely forgotten again. But indeed, sanctions and arms embargo are way past overdue.

Hamas solely to blame for resumption of Gaza hostilities: US
Responsibility for the Israeli attacks lies solely with Hamas, and the US supports Israel in its next steps, according to the acting US ambassador to the United Nations.
Ambassador Dorothy Shea made the statement at a United Nations Security Council briefing.
“The blame for the resumption of hostilities lies solely with Hamas,” Shea said, charging that the group had refused every proposal and deadline to extend the ceasefire and allow time to negotiate a framework for a permanent ceasefire.
Shea said US President Donald Trump had made clear that Hamas must release the captives it is holding immediately or pay a high price.
The blame lies with Trump, Witkoff and Netanyahu. Trump won't stick to his own deals, just like Netanyahu. Hamas has made multiple extra concessions, nvm not retaliating for all the Israeli violations during the 'ceasefire' including obstructing aid and killing 170 Palestinians.
The plan all along was to alter the deal in such ways Hamas could not possibly accept it. Netanyahu never intended to end the war, never had any intention of moving on to phase 2 of the ceasefire.
I'm glad some of the hostages got out and some aid came in, yet the current situation is worse than before the ceasefire. 16 day total blockade, 400+ people massacred in one day.
Palestinian UN ambassador says Netanyahu ended deal for domestic political reasons
Palestinian ambassador Riyad Mansour has told the United Nations that “life was starting to triumph over death” before Israel tossed out the ceasefire agreement.
“There should not be unilateral, self-serving, and irresponsible decisions to excuse breaking the ceasefire,” he said.
“While the Trump administration has prioritised the release of hostages, it is evident that [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu’s concern for his political survival far outweighs his concern for the survival of the hostages.”
Mansour says Israel continues to pursue ‘mass forcible displacement’
The Palestinian ambassador to the UN said that Israel is also prohibited from “demographic or territorial change” in Gaza, but that these remain primary aims of Israel’s war.
“The resolution is also clear in rejecting any attempt at demographic or territorial change in the Gaza Strip, including any actions that reduce the territory of Gaza, a goal Israel continues to pursue as mass forcible displacement and annexation remain its primary aims throughout the occupied Palestinian territories,” Riyad Mansour said.
