Minneapolis October 09, 2023 (SD) -Somali-American Ilhan Omar, a member of the United States Congress, has spoken about the conflict between the Palestinian group Hamas and Israel, which has resulted in significant casualties and damage.

She made her remarks on the first day of the ongoing conflict, which has escalated tensions in the region.
Ilhan Omar discussed the conflict, condemning the intense attacks carried out by Hamas against Israel.

She also criticized the use of force that has led to casualties among civilians and the displacement of civilians by the Palestinian fighters. She has since called on both sides to cease hostilities and work toward a ceasefire, emphasizing the need to stop the violence and suffering in the area.

Ilhan Omar’s recent statements have been notable, and she has been previously criticized for her perceived bias toward the Palestinians, although her recent comments often reflected a desire for peace and a resolution to the ongoing conflict.

The recent escalation in the conflict has led to a high number of casualties, with over 700 people reported dead in Israel and more than 2,000 injured. It has also resulted in the loss of lives among Israeli soldiers and officials, as well as significant damage to infrastructure and homes in the region.

On the Palestinian side, the death toll was estimated at 500 people, including children, who were killed in Israeli airstrikes.

The situation remains fluid and continues to evolve, with both sides facing challenges in reaching a lasting resolution to the conflict.
