Washington, November 15 (RHC)-- Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian American member of the U.S. Congress, has called on Secretary of State Antony Blinken to resign after he refused to hold Israel accountable for failing to allow U.S. aid into Gaza. 

Humanitarian groups report aid deliveries have fallen to an all-time low since Blinken issued his ultimatum, with just 37 trucks entering Gaza per day in October and an average of 69 trucks per day in early November.

Congressmember Tlaib spoke from the House floor Thursday, displaying a photograph of an emaciated Palestinian child.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib: “U.S. law is very clear.  No nation blocking U.S. humanitarian assistance can receive U.S. weapons. The Biden administration cannot pick and choose when they comply with our own laws.  Children are forced to eat pet food and bug-infested flour.  Look at this, and do not turn your back on, again, being complicit to this war crime.  But Blinken says there’s no need to change our own policy.”
