A Palestinian in Congress

Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib defeated her Republican opponent in Michigan’s 12th congressional district election, securing a fourth term as the only Palestinian-American woman in the US Congress.

Her victory comes amid the backdrop of Israel’s war on Gaza, which has killed more than 43,000 Palestinians so far and has been diplomatically and militarily supported by the Biden-Harris administration for more than a year.

Tlaib has been a vocal critic of the war, calling for the US to withhold weapons from Israel.
