Gaza Death Toll Surpasses 60,000

The death toll in Gaza has now exceeded 60,000 amid continued Israeli military operations, according to the latest reports. Humanitarian organizations warn that millions remain at risk, as access to food, water, and medical care is severely restricted. The catastrophic loss of life and scale of suffering highlight the ongoing urgency for global attention and humanitarian intervention.
Why it matters: This crisis underscores a massive humanitarian tragedy for Palestinians, many of whom are children and civilians. The global Muslim community continues to advocate for justice and relief for those affected by the conflict.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Becomes First Republican in Congress to Call Gaza War a ‘Genocide’

U.S. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) has become the first Republican in Congress to describe Israel’s actions in Gaza as “genocide.” Her statement called out “the genocide, humanitarian crisis, and starvation happening in Gaza,” breaking with longstanding party rhetoric. Greene’s remarks follow heated debates within the U.S. over humanitarian aid and public criticism of statements supporting the blockade and starvation of Palestinians.
Why it matters: Greene’s statement signals a rare fracture within U.S. political support for Israel and may open space for greater bipartisan debate on Palestinian rights and international law, resonating powerfully with Muslim audiences engaged in advocacy for Gaza.
