Ilhan Omar stonewalls FOX Business reporter's questions on Israel ceasefire demands

After publicly calling for a "de-escalation and ceasefire" by Israel, Democratic "Squad" member Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., stayed silent on her support for Palestine. "Congresswoman, you have called for a ceasefire – are you okay with Hamas terrorists continuing to exist?" correspondent Hillary Vaughn asked Omar in the halls of Capitol Hill Friday.

Omar, who has a history of controversial statements about Israel, condemned "the horrific acts we are seeing unfold today in Israel against children, women, the elderly, and the unarmed people who are being slaughtered and taken hostage by Hamas" on X, formerly known as Twitter. "Such senseless violence will only repeat the back and forth cycle we've seen, which we cannot allow to continue," Omar wrote.
