Senate Passes Resolution Honoring 6-Year-Old Palestinian American Hate Crime Victim

HeadlineSep 26, 2024

The U.S. Senate on Wednesday unanimously passed a resolution honoring Wadea al-Fayoume, the 6-year-old Palestinian American boy from Illinois who was murdered in a hate crime last October, shortly after Israel launched its assault on Gaza. The Council on American-Islamic Relations said, “His murder is a painful reminder of the deadly consequences of anti-Palestinian hate and Islamophobia.” Congressmember Delia Ramirez, one of the resolution’s authors, is calling on her colleagues to swiftly pass the companion House resolution.
