Democratic Representatives\u200b Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria \u2064Ocasio-Cortez,\u2064 and Ilhan Omar have all released statements urging de-escalation in the aftermath of one \u200dof the\u200c most significant attacks in Israel&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p>Rashida Tlaib, a Palestinian-American Representative from Michigan, who has previously referred \u200cto Israel\u2064 as an apartheid state, has not yet issued a statement regarding the attacks. Reports suggest that \u200bthe attacks may have \u2064also resulted in the murder or abduction of Americans.<\/p>\n<p>According to CBS News, \u200ba group\u200c of Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel through various \u200bmeans and carried out killing sprees in the southern region of the country. They\u200b reportedly abducted Israelis, including children and the elderly,\u200c and murdered\u200d innocent citizens. Shocking footage posted online shows the terrorists going door-to-door in search\u2063 of\u2062 targets and taking\u2063 scores of civilians as hostages back to the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n<p>Videos\u200c of the\u2062 attacks, including a\u2064 disturbing scene of a woman being\u200b paraded through the streets of \u200bGaza,\u200d have \u200dcirculated on the internet. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin \u2064Netanyahu has declared a \u2062state of war, and the country&#8217;s\u2063 air\u2063 forces have launched airstrikes on the Gaza Strip in preparation for a potential ground invasion.<\/p>\n<p>In \u200bresponse to the vicious attacks, Cori Bush \u2063acknowledged the loss of life on both sides and condemned the violence. She called for\u200c an immediate ceasefire and emphasized the need to end U.S. government support for Israel&#8217;s military\u200b occupation and apartheid. Jamaal Bowman \u200bcondemned the attacks and called for an \u2064end\u200d to the \u200cblockade of\u200b the Gaza Strip, which involves Egypt as well.<\/p>\n<p>Ayanna Pressley described \u200cthe Hamas attacks as devastating and called for\u2064 an immediate ceasefire and de-escalation. Similarly, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez strongly condemned the attacks and\u200b urged an immediate ceasefire and de-escalation.<\/p>\n<p>Ilhan Omar also condemned the horrific Hamas attacks and called for de-escalation\u2064 and a\u2064 ceasefire to break the cycle\u2063 of violence in the region. She further requested \u200dprayers for the people of Gaza, \u200bwho lack shelters and an iron dome defense system like Israel&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu\u2062 warned that the\u2063 upcoming war between Hamas and Israel is likely to be bloody and \u200bprotracted.
