“Muslim Women for Harris/Walz” is no more. The group has announced its dissolution after the Democratic National Convention hosted the parents of an Israeli held hostage by Hamas terrorists but declined to also feature a Palestinian speaker.

Journalist Yashar Ali shared a statement from the group in an X post on Thursday — just ahead of the DNC’s final evening, when Harris is expected to formally accept the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential nomination.

“We cannot in good conscience, continue Muslim Women for Harris-Walz, in light of this new information from the Uncommitted movement, that VP Harris’ team declined their request to have a Palestinian American speaker take the stage at the DNC,” the statement read.

“The family of the Israeli Hostage that was on the stage tonight, has shown more empathy towards Palestinian Americans and Palestinians, than our candidate or the DNC has. This is a terrible message to send to Democrats. Palestinians have the right to speak about Palestine. We pray that the DNC and VP Harris team makes the right decision before this convention is over. For the sake of each of us,” it concluded.

Wednesday evening opened with an emotional speech from Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg, the parents of Israeli-American Hamas hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin, which led to chants of “Bring them home!” from the crowd.

Ta-Nehisi Coates wrote for Vanity Fair that he believed the Democratic Party was missing the mark by not including a Palestinian speaker — particularly because the DNC’s host city of Chicago is home to “more Palestinian-Americans than anywhere else in the country.”

“But you would not know this looking at that stage,” he wrote. “Despite the appeals of Palestinian American delegates and activists, no Palestinian American is scheduled to address the convention from the main stage. I suspect this is because of what such a speaker might feel compelled to say.”

He went on to cite casualty numbers pushed by the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry, claiming — as Hamas has — that Israel had indiscriminately slaughtered civilians and even children.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who spoke on the DNC stage herself earlier in the week, voiced her agreement that the party should include a Palestinian speaker: “Just as we must honor the humanity of hostages, so too must we center the humanity of the 40,000 Palestinians killed under Israeli bombardment. To deny that story is to participate in the dehumanization of Palestinians. The @DNC must change course and affirm our shared humanity.”

Palestinian Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) also chastised the DNC directly, claiming that allowing the parents of Israeli hostages to speak without giving equal time to Palestinians sent a message that Israeli lives were worth more.

“Why are you saying that Israeli children are more valuable than Palestinian children? Where is our shared humanity? Stop erasing Palestinians. We exist. We deserve to be heard,” she complained.

The 20-year-old man who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, used encrypted messaging accounts on platforms in multiple foreign countries, according to Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL).

Waltz, who is on the Congressional task force investigating the assassination attempt, told reporters in Chicago on Wednesday that it has not “learned that much” about Thomas Matthew Crooks’ encrypted messaging accounts, but he did reveal that they discovered the accounts were based on platforms in Belgium, Germany, and New Zealand, which the congressman described as strange, The New York Post reported. Encrypted messaging apps allow for text messages to be sent through an encrypted code that can only be deciphered by the recipient’s device.

“Why does a 19-year-old kid who is a health care aide need encrypted platforms not even based in the United States, but based abroad, where most terrorist organizations know it is harder for our law enforcement to get into? That’s a question I’ve had since day one,” Waltz told reporters at the Trump Hotel in downtown Chicago.

Waltz, a retired Green Beret, then ripped the FBI and Secret Service for not releasing more information from the investigations into the attempted assassination.

“They need to be releasing information as they come across it because this wasn’t an isolated incident,” he said. “The threats are continually Iran’s threats.”

Before the assassination attempt, U.S. authorities were informed by a source that there was an Iranian plot to kill Trump, CNN reported. The Biden administration reportedly told the Trump campaign and Secret Service of the alleged plot, but the troubling intelligence info raised new concerns about the security breakdown at Trump’s rally. Iran “strongly” rejected it had any role in the Trump assassination attempt, adding that it “is determined to pursue legal action against Trump for his direct role in the crime of assassinating Martyr General Qassem Soleimani.”

Trump responded to Iran’s alleged plot to assassinate him, writing on Truth Social, “If they do ‘assassinate President Trump,’ which is always a possibility, I hope that America obliterates Iran, wipes it off the face of the Earth — If that does not happen, American Leaders will be considered ‘gutless’ cowards!”

Late last month, the House revealed its 13-member task force appointed to investigate the Trump assassination attempt. It is made up of seven Republicans and six Democrats. The House and Senate have also grilled leaders of the Secret Service and the FBI over security failures at the July 13 Trump rally.

Crooks accessed a roof just 130 yards from where Trump stood on stage. The would-be assassin fired eight shots, one of which struck Trump in his right ear. Another bullet hit and killed Trump supporter and firefighter Corey Comperatore. Two other rallygoers, David Dutch and James Copenhaver, were also struck by the gunfire and injured.
