In the United States, Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib and 20 other representatives introduced a resolution in the U.S. Congress to officially recognize the Israeli offensive in Gaza as genocide. The proposal, presented this Friday in the House of Representatives, declares that Israel has committed the crime of genocide against the Palestinian people. The text demands the immediate cessation of the transfer of weapons that could be used to commit atrocities in Gaza, and supports the facilitation of internal investigations and the adoption of legal measures. The resolution comes in a critical context: the 10-year memorandum of understanding that grants Israel 3.8 billion dollars in annual military aid is set to expire in 2026, which will rekindle the debate on U.S. assistance.
