Max Miller accused Tlaib of supporting Hezbollah. Miller said Hezbollah is a terrorist organization and its members are butchers that Tlaib likes to hang out with to a certain extent. He further charged that Tlaib advocates for terrorists on a daily basis and advocates for a terrorist regime every single day.
Tlaib responded that the remarks constituted an attack on her character. Miller’s comments were later stricken from the record. Tlaib held a “Block the Bombs” press conference at the Capitol on Thursday with Rep.
Delia Ramirez and Rep. Madeleine Dean. At the event she stated every weapon sent to the Israeli apartheid regime right now is used to carry out the genocide in Gaza. Tlaib also said the ethnic cleansing campaign continues in Palestine and is expanding in Lebanon.

Jeffries and his top deputies stated they stand with the Lebanese people, the government of Lebanon and the Lebanese Armed Forces in their efforts to live peacefully and defeat Hezbollah.
