US lawmaker calls for vote to end US role in Lebanon war

US Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib called for an end to US involvement in the war in Lebanon after reports that more than 3,100 people have been killed in Israeli attacks since 2 March.

In a post on X, Tlaib described the deaths as “mass murder” and said the violence must end.

Tlaib argued that the United States was “an active participant” in the Israeli military campaign and pledged to force a vote in Congress aimed at ending US involvement in the conflict.

Her comments came after Lebanon’s Health Ministry said the death toll from Israeli attacks since 2 March had reached 3,111.
