"Michigan AG Urges Tlaib to Withdraw Controversial Israel-Hamas Comment"

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has called on Representative Rashida Tlaib to retract her remarks criticizing the Biden administration's support for Israel in the Israel-Hamas conflict, stating that Tlaib's comments are hurtful and hateful. Tlaib had accused the president of supporting the genocide of the Palestinian people. Tlaib's use of the phrase "from the river to the sea" was also criticized by fellow Democrats, who claimed it is used as a rallying cry by the militant group Hamas. Republican Senator Tim Scott called for Tlaib's expulsion from Congress, while Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene pledged to reintroduce a measure to censure Tlaib. The Biden administration has backed Israel in the conflict but has also called for a humanitarian pause to protect civilians in Gaza.
