Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar criticized US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday for his "humiliation" during his recent trip to "Israel", as he failed to negotiate a breakthrough for a ceasefire.

As the Uncommitted Movement gathered in Chicago for the Democratic National Convention, Omar spoke to the movement, questioning how Blinken could travel "11 times begging for an end to a situation that we have truly continued to provide the bombs and weapons that are creating that situation."

Omar further questioned how the US is not "ashamed" at the humiliation of having Blinken say a ceasefire is near and then "leave for Egypt, only for Bibi Netanyahu to have a press conference right after him and say we are not taking a deal?"

The Congresswoman added, "It's not just the hypocrisy of saying we respect international law, but humiliation."

Omar further chastised the Biden administration for "refusing to recognize the genocidal war" in Gaza, reiterating that the US is supplying the weapons to the occupation and that wanting a ceasefire is achievable by stopping the weapons supply.

"So if you really want a cease-fire, you just stop sending the weapons," she stressed.

Speaking at the same event, Missouri Representative Cori Bush, who lost the Democratic primary to rival St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell, who was supported by pro-Israeli lobbies urged her Democratic colleagues to defend their ideals, describing how over 40,000 Palestinians have been killed with "weapons that we the United States have manufactured and paid for.”

"They question us about why we stand, and why we keep talking and marching and crying and pushing and demanding, and the bombs keep dropping and they're not listening."

Muslim Women for Harris dissolves, withdraws endorsement

Meanwhile, on the third night of the Democratic National Convention, Muslim Women for Harris issued a statement declaring their disbandment in protest to the Harris-Walz campaign's unwillingness to allow a Palestinian speaker on the main stage.

Vice President Kamala Harris declared her acceptance of the Democratic candidacy for president on Thursday on the final day of the Democratic National Convention, calling for an end to the war on Gaza and the battle against tyranny everywhere.

Members of the Uncommitted National Movement staged a demonstration outside the United Center in Chicago, where the final events of the Democratic National Convention are being held. Ilhan Omar spent some time at the rally, while Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez participated via FaceTime. The sit-in occurred after the anti-war organization was informed that a Palestinian would not be permitted to speak on the main stage; before then, it was unclear if such a speech would take place. 

Following many protests by pro-Palestine supporters dissatisfied with the DNC disallowing pro-Palestine speakers at the convention, Harris made a commitment to protect "Israel", release the captives from Gaza, and put an end to the war.

During the sit-in, Muslim Women for Harris abandoned their support for the Democratic nominee.

The group revealed that it cannot "in good conscience continue Muslim Women for Harris-Walz, in light of this new information from the Uncommitted movement, that VP Harris' team declined their request to have a Palestinian American speaker take the stage at the DNC."

Uncommitted was in support of the campaign inviting the family of Israeli captive Hersh Goldberg-Polin to speak on Wednesday, however, the organization advocated for a comparable platform for Palestinians.

According to the Uncommitted statement, the Democratic party was urged to ensure "Palestinian voices are heard on the main stage" citing that although they are in strong support of the Israeli captives' families speaking, the movement "also strongly hope that we will also be hearing from Palestinians who’ve endured the largest civilian death toll since 1948."
