Last week UMCL sponsored and attended the first-ever National Muslim Business Leaders and Entrepreneurs Summit and Reception in Washington, DC. The event, which hosted over 150 Muslim leaders, featured speeches, networking sessions, and business opportunity breakout events.
Lena Beseiso was visiting family in Gaza — 7,000 miles from her home in Salt Lake City — with her children and grandson when the Israel-Hamas war broke out. Soon, they were dodging airstrikes and huddling terrified in the dark. https://t.co/q4jHH0jkAW
The crisis in Gaza is growing. Israeli airstrikes are destroying residential buildings and public infrastructure. Restrictions on humanitarian aid make life even harder. Stop the bombing NOW.
The Netanyahu government, or hopefully a new Israeli government, must understand that not one penny will be coming to Israel from the U.S. unless there is a fundamental change in their military and political positions. Read my statement:

Some Republicans pushed back, but in the vote on the amendment, others could be heard supporting it.https://t.co/qlgGxSHgw6
UMCL attended the hearing for this resolution last night. Our Muslim community is seeing the rise of hatred and feel Palestinian voices in Utah have been ignored. This bill does not acknowledge all parties affected. We appreciate these Democrats’ vote and their written statement.
