Ilhan Omar faces backlash for spreading fake news about Gaza hospital attack

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., walked back her initial comments blaming Israel for the explosion at a Gaza hospital, but did not offer an apology. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Biden administration have debunked Hamas' claims, stating that the explosion was caused by a misfired rocket from the Islamic Jihad. Omar acknowledged the need for credible sources and called for an independent investigation to determine responsibility. Critics have accused her of spreading misinformation and relying on Hamas propaganda. Her colleague, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., has doubled down on her accusations against Israel.
