The members of Congress known as the "Squad," who are associated with left-leaning ideologies, called on Israel to exercise caution and restraint in their military response to a coordinated attack carried out by Hamas militants. This attack resulted in the tragic loss of numerous Israeli civilians' lives.

In a recent statement, Representative Cori Bush, a Democrat from Missouri, emphasized the importance of taking action to address the violence and trauma occurring in the region. She specifically called for an end to the U.S. government's support for the Israeli military occupation and what she referred to as apartheid. Similarly, Representative Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, highlighted the disparity in protective measures between Israel and Gaza. She pointed out that while Israel has shelters and an iron dome to safeguard its citizens, Gaza lacks such resources.

The range of pressures from within the Democratic Party being exerted on President Biden as he navigates this foreign policy crisis is underscored by their aggressively pro-Palestinian viewpoints.

They emphasize the importance of true freedom, equal rights, and the preservation of human dignity for all individuals. In a statement, Ms. Tlaib emphasized the importance of certain steps in order to pave the way towards a desired future. These steps include lifting the blockade, putting an end to the occupation, and dismantling the apartheid system. Ms. Tlaib believes that this is necessary in order to address the oppressive conditions that can potentially give rise to resistance. The lack of acknowledgment regarding the harsh and violent conditions experienced by individuals living under siege, occupation, and apartheid does not contribute to the overall safety of anyone involved. 

The Squad members expressed their condemnation of all acts of violence following the attacks. Additionally, they emphasized the challenging circumstances faced by the Palestinians in Gaza, the region from which the unexpected attack on Israel originated.

In a recent post on X, Ms. Omar expressed her belief that Palestinians, as human beings, are currently facing a situation of being besieged. She emphasized the importance of providing them with protection, calling upon the international community to take action in this regard.

According to Ms. Bush, she believes that implementing a military response would only worsen the already existing suffering experienced by both the Palestinians and Israelis.
