Israel war: Rashida Tlaib continues to attack Joe Biden over Gaza evacuation order

October 20, 2023 05:00 PM

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) continued her attacks against President Joe Biden over Israel‘s calls for civilians to evacuate from Gaza.

The Michigan Democrat, who shared misinformation about an explosion at a hospital in Gaza earlier this week, shared a post from the Palestine Red Crescent Society about 400 people allegedly stuck in another medical facility, and she implored Biden to call on Israel to withdraw its evacuation order.

.@POTUS are you going to remain silent?

400 patients + 12,000 people are sheltering in this hospital. Where are they supposed to go? Where!

You must demand that your BFF Netanyahu withdrawal his evacuation order. Our country can’t keep supporting this massacre of civilians. https://t.co/80ILi3Abyy

“[President Joe Biden] are you going to remain silent? 400 patients + 12,000 people are sheltering in this hospital. Where are they supposed to go? Where! You must demand that your BFF Netanyahu withdrawal his evacuation order. Our country can’t keep supporting this massacre of civilians,” Tlaib said in a post on X, the social media website once known as Twitter.

The Jewish state has warned civilians in Gaza to evacuate for more than a week — the country is expected to begin a ground campaign against Hamas terrorists.

Tlaib has been a critic of Biden, the leader of her party, for his response to the conflict between Israel and Hamas, demanding a ceasefire rather than supporting Israel’s right to defend itself.

Biden reaffirmed his support for Israel in a speech from the White House on Thursday evening, urging Congress to pass a $100 billion supplemental funding request to support the Jewish state and Ukraine in their respective conflicts. The president also visited Israel earlier this week as a show of support to the Middle Eastern country.

Israel declared war against Hamas, the first time it had declared war since 1973, shortly after the attacks earlier this month. The conflict has killed at least 5,000 people in Israel and Gaza since the first attacks by Hamas, according to the Associated Press.

The State Department has said at least 30 Americans are among the dead in Israel, and several U.S. citizens are among the people being held hostage by the terrorist group. Two American hostages were released from Gaza on Friday, Israel confirmed.
