President Trump encountered a genuine impeachment challenge for the first time in his second term, following a strong statement from a prominent lawmaker on Wednesday.

Representative Al Green from Texas made a significant announcement, hinting at a renewed effort to impeach the sitting president.

“I rise to declare my intentions of bringing Articles of Impeachment against the president for his despicable actions,” Representative Green stated emphatically on the House floor.

This announcement was in response to what he considered the president’s support for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza, which stirred considerable controversy.

The remarks were made during a meeting with Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, at the White House. The pair discussed various issues, including ongoing conflicts in the region.

The exchanges took center stage in political debates, notably after the events of October 2023, when Hamas attacked Israel in an attack with dire consequences.

During a press conference held jointly, Trump suggested that military intervention might be necessary to take control of the Gaza Strip if situations escalated further. He expressed hope that neighboring Arab nations would be willing to accommodate the Palestinian population.
