A Democratic representative announced on Wednesday his intention to initiate an impeachment process against the President of the United States, Donald Trump, for his comments related to Gaza following the visit to Washington by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
During his speech before the House of Representatives, Texas Representative Al Green stated: 'I am here to announce that I will introduce articles of impeachment against the president for the desperate acts he has proposed and the desperate acts he has carried out.'
President Trump, after meeting with Netanyahu, suggested that the United States take control of Gaza, lead its reconstruction, and relocate Palestinians to other countries. These statements were condemned by Green, who said: 'Ethnic cleansing in Gaza is no joke, especially when it comes from the President of the United States, the most powerful person in the world.'
In response to the Democratic legislator's announcement, Trump's campaign team launched a petition initiative to support the president against what they called 'the radical lunatics.' The president expressed in a message: 'The Democrats just asked for me to be impeached again!'
During his first term, Trump faced two impeachment proceedings in 2019 and 2021. Despite being acquitted by the Senate in both cases, Al Green now plans to initiate a new impeachment process, knowing that control of the House of Representatives and the Senate is in the hands of Republicans, making another failure in his attempts likely.
Green's determination would only be the first step in a process that seems destined for failure, as for it to succeed, the articles of impeachment must be approved by the currently Republican-controlled House of Representatives and then pass to the Senate, also under conservative control.
In conclusion, the impeachment process announced by Democratic Representative Al Green against President Trump seems to face significant obstacles, given the political balances in the United States Congress.
