Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green, who made three attempts to impeach President Donald Trump during his first term, initiated his first impeachment effort in 2025.

During a tirade on the House floor, Green said, “Ethnic cleansing in Gaza is not a joke, especially when it emanates from the President of the United States.”

“And [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] should be ashamed, knowing the history of his people, to stand there and allow such things to be said,” Green said.

“And still I rise, Mr. Speaker. And I rise today, Mr. Speaker, with a ‘to whom it may concern’ message. To whom it may concern: Ethnic cleansing in Gaza is not a joke, especially when it emanates from the president of the United States, the most powerful person in the world. When he has the ability to perfect what he says. Ethnic cleansing in Gaza is no joke, and the prime minister of Israel should be ashamed, knowing the history of his people, to stand there and allow such things to be said. Ethnic cleansing has been a crime against humanity. And I stand here today in the well to denounce what it was said,” Green whined.
