Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Rep. André Carson joined a pro-Palestinian protest that took place outside the State Department in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday.
Tlaib and Carson both spoke at the event amid the escalating conflict pitting the Israeli military against Hamas and other militant groups. At least 35 Palestinians, including 10 children, have died following Israeli airstrikes, while hundreds of rockets targeting Israel have killed at least three people. The conflict was ignited days after clashes between Israelis and Palestinians began in East Jerusalem's Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.
"Today, I was honored to join @RepRashida and a diverse crowd of people at the State Department to demand justice for Palestinians," Carson tweeted after taking part in the protest."Americans of all backgrounds have a moral obligation to protect human rights wherever they are threatened — in #SheikhJarrah, and around the world!"
The protest was organized by Muslim advocacy groups the Council on American-Islamic Relations and American Muslims for Palestine. CAIR said in a statement that the goal of the demonstration was to"call on the Biden administration to condemn and oppose the Israeli government's campaign to expel Palestinian families from Jerusalem's Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood."
