US Congressman Calls for Violence Amid Candidate's Call for Netanyahu Arrest
The Republican primaries in Tennessee saw the defeat of Congressman Andy Ogles, known for his anti-Muslim stance and his calls for the killing of Palestinians. He failed to secure the Republican nomination for his seat, losing to Charlie Hatcher, who received 53% of the votes compared to Ogles's 47%. On the other hand, two Democratic members of Congress, Justin Pearson and another, won with positions supporting Palestinian rights. Justin Pearson called for the prosecution of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and ending U.S. military support for him, and is expected to win in the upcoming election. These results come after the redistricting in Tennessee, which sparked widespread controversy aimed at increasing Republican control over the legislature.
