Carbon tax protest at Nova Scotia-New Brunswick border | SaltWire #newbrunswick #novascotia #rallyWASHINGTON - The White House will hold a scaled-down iftar dinner on Tuesday to celebrate Islam's holy month of Ramadan, after some invitees turned the president down over frustrations in the Muslim community over his policy toward the Israel-Gaza war.

Muslim members of Congress who attended that event including Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, who is Palestinian American, are now among the biggest critics of his Gaza policy. Many Muslims, Arabs and anti-war activists have been angry with the administration's support for Israel and its military offensive in Gaza that has killed tens of thousands and caused a starvation crisis in the narrow coastal enclave of about 2.3 million people.
