Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a member of the hyper-progressive leftist “Squad,” is under fire for her dishonest stance on the recent explosion at a Gaza hospital.
In an exclusive letter obtained by Fox News Digital, Rep. Ronny Jackson is demanding her removal from future classified briefings on military operations in Israel, accusing her of spreading misinformation and being a sympathizer of Hamas.

Tensions surrounding the explosion at the Gaza hospital have been a point of contention. U.S. and Israeli intelligence officials have stated that it was caused by a rocket fired from Gaza, while Tlaib sided with Hamas, claiming Israel was responsible. Jackson accuses her of spreading Hamas propaganda, which could put American and Israeli lives at risk.
In his letter to Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Jackson called for Tlaib to be prevented from participating in classified briefings on Israel’s military operations and U.S. military movements in the region. He further demanded the revocation of her security clearance, asserting that it had become clear that her allegiance lies with Hamas.

“I demand that her security clearance be revoked immediately and that she be prevented from participating in any relevant briefings,” Jackson wrote.
As a member of the House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees, Jackson stated his determination to prevent Tlaib and other “Squad” members from accessing classified intelligence on the situation in Israel, emphasizing the potential threat posed by such individuals.
“You do not let the enemy know your plans, and letting Representative Tlaib into these briefings is doing exactly that,” Jackson declared, adding that anti-American and anti-Jewish sentiments from elected leaders must cease as they pose a danger to the nation.
