Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib slams bombing of Rafah as ‘intentional’ as Israel calls it a ‘mistake’ Yahoo News UK
—
Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib has condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after he claimed that Israel’s bombing of Rafah was a “mistake”.
An Israeli airstrike on tents in Rafah, meant for displaced Palestinians, killed at least 50 people and injured dozens more on Sunday, according to Gaza health authorities.
Prime Minister Netanyahu subsequently called the strike “a tragic mistake” and said that it would be investigated.
But Rep. Tlaib, the only Palestinian-American member of Congress, hit back at the Israeli leader’s explanation.
“This was intentional,” she wrote on X. “You don’t accidentally kill massive amounts of children and their families over and over again and get to say, ‘It was a mistake.’”
