In a series of tweets on Wednesday, Omar strongly criticized the anti-human and hawkish measures by outgoing US President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, including the efforts to back the crimes of the occupying regime of Israeli against the Palestinian nation, inking arms deals with Saudi Arabia amid the Yemen crisis and the “crippling sanctions” against the Iranian nation.
