US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar says ground invasion into the Gaza Strip “would have disastrous consequences and lead to loss of life of catastrophic proportions”.

In a statement, she wrote it “would risk pulling the US into a rapidly-escalating broader regional conflict”.

“A ground invasion would make an untenable humanitarian disaster even worse. It would not only put the lives of more and more Palestinian civilians at risk, but also Israelis, the hundreds of hostages held by Hamas, and the hundreds of Americans trapped in Gaza.”
