Overview

• Greene’s July 28 post on X made her the first sitting Republican in Congress to cite genocide in describing Israel’s Gaza campaign.
• She directly rebuked Rep. Randy Fine for his July tweets urging Gazans to “starve away” until Hamas returns hostages.
• Greene’s stance follows her failed amendment earlier this month to cut $500 million in U.S. aid for Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense.
• Human rights groups including Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders and B’Tselem have reported famine conditions consistent with genocide in Gaza.
• Senate Republicans remain split, with figures such as Lindsey Graham rejecting the genocide characterization and others advocating for aid measures tied to civilian relief.
