Ilhan Omar Backs Resolution Recognizing Israel

More than 30 House Democrats have signed onto a new resolution “recognizing Israel as America’s legitimate and democratic ally and condemning antisemitism,” NBC News reports.

“The most notable among them: Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), a Muslim American who has been a fierce critic of Israel and the Jewish lobby and ousted by Republicans on Thursday from the Foreign Affairs Committee for what members of both parties said were antisemitic remarks.”
