The Georgia Republican is the first in her caucus, which has generally rallied unconditionally around Israel, to use the word in reference to Gaza.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called on House Republicans to stop funding Israel ahead of the September government funding deadline, arguing the United States is enabling the Jewish state to wage a “genocide” in Gaza.

Greene's remarks signal a rare challenge from the right to Republican unity on Israel, deepening tensions over U.S. foreign policy.
