PNN – A member of the US Congress has declared that it is disgusting that members of the US House of Representatives are supporting a law that would prohibit US officials from even citing Palestinian casualties during eight months of Israeli attacks.
According to Pakistan News Network’s report from “Anatoli”, Rashida Tlaib said on the floor of the American House of Representatives: I must say that the effort of my colleagues to propose a bill that prohibits the US government from even citing the number of Palestinian deaths is very disgusting.
Referring to the Nakba or the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians during the Israeli-Palestinian war in 1948, he added that since 1948, there has been a “concerted effort” to humiliate the Palestinians and destroy them.
He continued: My colleagues want to prevent the American authorities from mentioning the number of Palestinian deaths. So let me review these statistics. The latest Palestinian casualties include 37,718 people, including more than 15,000 Palestinian children, and more than 86,377 injured.

After November 24, 2023, a four-day temporary ceasefire was established between Israel and Hamas, or the pause for the exchange of prisoners between Hamas and Israel. This pause or temporary ceasefire lasted for seven days and finally ended on December 10, 2023, and the Israeli regime resumed attacks on Gaza.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced in a statement: In continuation of its crimes, in the last 24 hours, the Zionist army carried out 3 massacres against the residents of the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the martyrdom of 47 Palestinians and the wounding of 52 others.
