A South Florida venue cancelled a rally headlined by Democratic congresswoman Rashida Tlaib shortly before it was due to take place, citing increased security concerns. The event was subsequently moved, highlighting tensions around political events involving prominent critics of Israel and concerns about safety.

The “Chomp the Oligarchy” rally was intended to support two Democratic US House candidates and one Senate candidate ahead of a primary. Tlaib, a Michigan representative, is an outspoken critic of Israel, while the original venue was Jewish-owned.
