(Jewish Insider) Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said she’ll be traveling to Israel and the Palestinian Territories in a few weeks, calling it an opportunity to learn more about the situation on the ground, “occupation,” and best ways forward on a two-state solution.
“I am going in a couple of weeks and so I’ll learn more,” Omar told Jewish Insider on Wednesday. “But truly, everything that I hear points to both sides feeling like there is still an occupation.”
When asked where she will visit the congresswoman replied “both,” seemingly referencing Israel and the West Bank, and directed questions about logistics to her office.
