‘It’s a lie’: US lawmaker says ‘there is no ceasefire’ in Gaza
Rashida Tlaib, a Palestinian-American Congress member, has slammed continued Israeli attacks on Palestinians in the Strip.
“More than 200 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli government since Trump claimed a ceasefire was achieved,” Tlaib wrote in a social media post. “The Israeli government never even stopped bombing Lebanon. They are still committing war crimes.”
She has been one of the most prominent voices in Congress defending Palestinian rights and calling on the US government to suspend its unwavering military and diplomatic support for Israel.
There is no ceasefire. It's a lie.

Trump’s expansion of Abraham Accords ‘whitewashing’, Hamas says
The Palestinian group has decried Kazakhstan’s decision to join the Abraham Accords – a series of US-brokered normalisation deals with Israel – as “reprehensible”.
The Abraham Accords, first signed in 2020, saw Israel normalise relations with the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan. Trump has been pushing to expand the deal to more countries amid global outrage over Israel’s war on Gaza.
“It amounts to whitewashing the genocidal crimes committed by the occupation against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, at a time when the fascist entity and its war criminal leaders, wanted by the International Criminal Court, are facing increasing international isolation,” Hamas said in a statement.
Hamas urged all countries to “sever all forms of relations” with Israel and “refrain from engaging in any normalisation projects with it”.
Kazakhstan and Israel have held diplomatic ties since 1992, shortly after Kazakhstan gained independence from the Soviet Union.
