A group of U.S. Congress members, led by Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush, has formally requested President Joe Biden to provide a detailed account of U.S. military involvement in the Israeli government's regional conflicts, particularly in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, and Syria. They assert that Congress has not authorized military engagement in these areas, as required by the Constitution. The representatives emphasize the need for Congressional authorization and express concerns over the expansion of U.S. military support for Israel. Additionally, they highlight the American public's desire for an immediate ceasefire and an end to U.S. involvement in these conflicts, urging a reassessment of current military policies.
