Omar's Statement on Israel’s Attacks in Lebanon | 2024-09-24 | 2024 | 2024-09 | Democrat | House | MN | Ilhan Omar | O000173 | omar.house.gov | omar | https://omar.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON—Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) released the following statement following Israel’s attacks in Lebanon. “I condemn the attacks by the Israeli military in Lebanon. It is imperative we use every single tool to de-escalate tensions. Just as President Biden stated, a ‘full-scale war is not in anyone’s interest.’ A full-scale war would have catastrophic implications for everyone, especially for Lebanese and Israeli civilians who would bear the brunt of this war and dramatically increase the risk of regional conflict involving the United States. If we are serious about preventing the escalation of this conflict, we must use our leverage to cut off military aid to stop the violence both in Lebanon and Gaza. We cannot continue to stand idly by while innocent civilians are being bombarded with our tax dollars.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z |
