Overview

  • In a CNN interview, Khalil condemned the killing of all civilians but declined to condemn Hamas by name, calling the question disingenuous and absurd.
  • He described selective condemnation as hypocritical, citing over 62,000 Palestinian casualties resulting from Israeli actions.
  • He met Representative Summer Lee on Capitol Hill to discuss the Israel-Hamas conflict, which she called a productive exchange.
  • His deportation proceedings remain pending after a federal judge ordered his release in June from ICE detention under a rarely used national security provision.
  • He has denied accusations of misrepresenting his green card application, labeling them retaliation and insisting he provided accurate information.
