Rep. Delia Ramirez called on her fellow Democrats to “stop making excuses and act” to stop a war in Lebanon, as many refuse to go on the record about whether they’ll support a war powers resolution that would halt US military participation in Israel’s escalating occupation of the country.

Axios reported on Wednesday that some Democrats are “fuming” about having to take a vote on a resolution introduced by Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), which would require the US to end unauthorized military cooperation with Israel in Lebanon within seven days of being passed. The resolution would need Republican support to pass the GOP-controlled House.
