CHICAGO: Illinois Congressman Mike Quigley on Wednesday called on the US to recognize a Palestinian state, and expressed concern over Israel’s killing of Palestinian Americans and the lack of media reporting on their deaths.

Their sacrifices and what critics call Israel’s “genocide” in Gaza are fueling a new push for peace, the Democrat — elected in 2009 — told Arab News.

A dozen House Democrats signed a draft letter on Monday calling for US recognition of Palestinian statehood.
