' I’m from Detroit, where I learned to speak truth to power, even if my voice shakes,' says Rashida calling for a ceasefire
The United States has said that it opposed a new long-term occupation of Gaza by Israel as the Israeli military said its forces were now operating"in the heart of Gaza City" one month after Hamas's October 7 attacks.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also issued a stark warning to Hezbollah in Lebanon which, like Hamas, is backed by Iran."If Hezbollah makes the choice of joining the war it will be making the mistake of its life," he said in a televised statement marking a month of the war. His defence minister, Yoav Gallant, underlined Israel's determination"to destroy Hamas"."We are in the heart of Gaza City," he told reporters."Gaza is the largest terrorist base ever built."
Netanyahu also said there would be no fuel delivered to Gaza and no ceasefire in Israel's fighting with Hamas unless the more than 240 hostages seized by the Palestinian militants were freed.US House mutes only Palestine-American voice Rep. Rashida Tlaib calling for ceasefire
