Catching Up With Quigley: Week of August 4

August 8, 2025

Since October 7, I have consistently upheld Israel’s right to defend itself and have repeatedly called on Hamas to immediately and unconditionally release the hostages, and I reiterate this call today. But how Israel conducts itself in this war matters greatly. I am calling for the United States to officially recognize a Palestinian state to ensure a peaceful future for the region as well as the safety and security of both Palestinians and Israelis. While recognition cannot in one sweeping stroke create a state, and much work remains to be done, I want to make clear that Americans remain dedicated to ensuring the rights of the Palestinian people to a national homeland are recognized, respected, and fulfilled.

This week, Congressman Danny Davis announced that he will not be running for re-election. For the past 16 years, I've had the honor of serving with Congressman Davis. From his work on the Cook County Board of Commissioners to his time as Dean of the Illinois Delegation in Washington, he has spent his career fighting for Chicago. Congressman Davis has been a tireless advocate for underserved communities on Chicago’s West Side, including for Black young people. I’m so grateful to have served alongside him.

I was horrified by the murder of 20‑year‑old Palestinian‑American Sayfollah ‘Saif’ Musallet in the West Bank. There must be an independent investigation into Saif’s murder, and those responsible must be held accountable. I was equally horrified by the 94 Palestinians who were killed while seeking food aid and at least 33 people, including 12 children, who died of starvation last weekend.

On Tuesday, more than a dozen Homeland Security vehicles gathered for over two hours outside Chicago’s National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture in Humboldt Park. Instead of using taxpayer dollars to make our communities safer or provide better healthcare to seniors, this administration is paying for ICE agents to needlessly frighten Chicago communities. I stand with Chicagoland’s entire immigrant community against these blatant intimidation tactics.
