"Tlaib's Controversial Vote on Condemning Hamas' Use of Rape as Weapon of War"

The House passed a bipartisan resolution condemning Hamas' use of rape and sexual violence as weapons of war, with Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib voting "present." The resolution, introduced by Rep. Lois Frankel, calls for the criminalization of rape and sexual assault and accountability for all perpetrators. Tlaib expressed concern that the resolution ignored alleged sexual violence by IDF forces, while the resolution also calls for international condemnation of Hamas' actions and support for survivors of sexual violence.
