“Tragedy in Gaza: Justin Amash’s Family Devastated by Israeli Airstrike

In a heartbreaking turn of events, Former American Representative Justin Amash has revealed that his family was affected by an Israeli airstrike which took place in Gaza on Wednesday. According to Amash, the airstrike which targeted a church in Gaza kilked his family members in the intervening hours of the evening. The strike reportedly carried out by the Israeli military comes amidst the ongoing conflict between Israelis and Palestinians in the region. This means of violence has seen regular attacks coming from both sides for the past few weeks now. Amash, a representative of Michigan and a very vocal critic of the Israeli-Palestine conflict, said that he was “heartbroken” to learn of the news. He expressed his grief in a tweet – “I’m so heartbroken for my family members killed in the airstrike in Gaza. Nothing can bring them back, but we must honor their memory by rebuking violence and celebrating peace. May their descendants never know another war.” However, despite his heart-wrenching tweet, US President Joe Biden has not yet addressed the airstrike in Gaza. Most international critcis are concerned that President Biden’s lack of action in the matter may signal a renewed commitment to building a foreign policy with the Israeli state. The bombing of a church in Gaza and the loss of life has spurred criticism from a wide range of people, including Amash and President Biden. However, the main issue still at hand is the ongoing struggle for peace and safety in Israel. It is going to take much needed dialogue and efforts from both sides in order to move past the current violence and to create a lasting peace in the region.
