Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has declared that the situation in Gaza amounts to a “genocide,” blasting the worsening humanitarian crisis and starvation in the enclave.
She also called on Hamas to release the remaining hostages captured during the Islamist group’s October 7 assault on Israel, which left around 1,200 people dead.
“It’s the most truthful and easiest thing to say that Oct 7th in Israel was horrific and all hostages must be returned, but so is the genocide, humanitarian crisis, and starvation happening in Gaza,” Greene wrote on X on Tuesday.
She was replying to a controversial tweet by Congressman Randy Fine.
“Release the hostages. Until then, starve away,” he wrote last week, suggesting that the discourse around starvation in Gaza was “Muslim terror propaganda.”
