Overview

  • Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene became the first Republican in Congress to label Israel’s Gaza offensive a genocide, citing civilian starvation under the UN definition.
  • President Trump acknowledged “real starvation” in Gaza, contradicting Prime Minister Netanyahu’s denials and marking a rare Republican critique of the campaign.
  • Senator John Fetterman rejected the genocide characterization while reaffirming support for U.S. military aid to Israel, highlighting resistance to Greene’s stance within Congress.
  • Israeli NGOs B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights filed formal genocide charges against Israel, intensifying international legal scrutiny of its military operations in Gaza.
