Hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza are heading south in vehicles and on foot. The Israeli military said it’s readying a “wide range” of offensive plans.
President Biden on Sunday condemned the killing of 6-year-old Muslim boy Wadea Alfayoumi outside Chicago, which local authorities and civil rights groups described as an anti-Muslim hate crime motivated by the war between Israel and Gaza. In a statement, Biden said he was “shocked and sickened” to hear of the deadly attack in Illinois, which “stands against our fundamental values: freedom from fear for how we pray, what we believe, and who we are.
” He called upon Americans to come together to “reject Islamophobia and all forms of bigotry and hatred,” the statement said. The boy’s mother, also stabbed during the attack, is in the hospital with serious injuries, the family told The Washington Post. Joseph Czuba, 71, the family’s landlord, was charged with one count each of first-degree murder, attempted murder and aggravated battery, and two counts related to hate crimes, the Will County Sheriff’s Office in Illinois said in a statement.
