The Democratic Representative in the US House of Representatives, Ilhan Omar, said that the current crisis in Palestine is caused by "a state funded by America that continues an illegal occupation of a group of people." Also, prominent Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders denounced Washington's support for a right-wing government in Israel instead of bringing people together in the region. .

"Instead of spending the days of Eid al-Fitr with my family, it is imperative for me to support the families that lost their children due to the ongoing violence in Palestine," said Ilhan Omar in a speech to the parliament on Thursday.

Today is Eid, one of the most joyous days in the Muslim calendar.

While I'd rather be spending it with my family, I have an obligation to stand up for the families whose children were taken from them because of the violence in Palestine.

In the same context, Democratic Representative Mark Buchan also said during a parliamentary session that the attacks of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) "are condemned, but the suffering of the Palestinians, which has continued for 50 years, must be condemned." The Palestinians suffered it under the rule of Netanyahu. "

"If you are neutral in situations characterized by injustice, you choose to stand by the tyrant," the US legislator asserted.

Today, my colleagues and I stood up because no one should suffer the loss of life, liberty, or dignity that the Palestinian people have suffered.

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.

Senator Bernie Sanders said in a tweet on Friday, "The role of the United States should be to bring the peoples of the region together, not to support a right-wing Israeli government."

He added in a second tweet, "While President Joe Biden is considering choosing a new US ambassador to Israel, I encourage him to choose someone who can represent our country in a fair way, and who can deal not only with Israel, but with the Palestinians as well."

The other direction

On the other hand, prominent Republican Senator Marco Rubio asked the Biden administration to stop the ongoing negotiations with Iran in an effort to revive the Iran nuclear deal, referring the matter to Tehran's support for Hamas, which launches missile attacks on Israel.

Given the attacks against #Israel by Iran's proxy Hamas today I asked @POTUS to immediately end negotiations with Iran.

Why are we even sanctions relief for a regime whose stated goal is the destruction of the Jewish state? Https: //t.co/RdJPBrZDgC

"In light of the attacks launched by Hamas, Iran's ally on Israel, today I asked the president to put an immediate end to talks with Iran," Rubio said in a tweet.

The Republican senator sent Biden a letter signed by nearly all Republican senators, saying that lifting sanctions on Iran would allow it to increase its support for Hamas.

Since Monday, 119 Palestinians, including 27 children and 11 women, have been killed, and 600 have been wounded due to continuous Israeli raids on Gaza, while 4 martyrs have died and hundreds have been wounded in clashes in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem, according to official Palestinian sources.

The situation in the Palestinian territories has exploded as a result of attacks committed by the police and Israeli settlers, since April 13, in Jerusalem, especially the Bab al-Amud area and the Al-Aqsa Mosque and its surroundings, as well as the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, where Israel wants to evacuate 12 Palestinian homes and hand them over to settlers.
