Hey everyone , just wanted to send a quick shoutout to all the Muslims out there as Ramadan kicks off . Ramadan Kareem to the more than 1 . 8 billion Muslims worldwide! This year , Ramadan comes during a tough time for many Muslim communities , like the Uyghurs in Xinjiang , Rohingya in Burma and Bangladesh , and Palestinians in Gaza . It ' s a different kind of Ramadan , with all the conflicts and pain going on . On another note , many of us Americans , including our diplomats , will also be celebrating Ramadan this year . It ' s a time to recognize how important religious diversity is in strengthening our country and the significance of freedom of religion both at home and abroad . The United States is fully committed to making sure this freedom is enjoyed by everyone worldwide . To all those observing Ramadan , have a wonderful and blessed month with your loved ones . We ' re really feeling for our Muslim brothers and sisters around the globe . The situation in Gaza is absolutely heart - wrenching . We ' re doing everything we can to provide aid and work towards a ceasefire that lasts at least six weeks , along with the release of hostages . We ' re also pushing for a two - state solution to ensure both Palestinians and Israelis have the same amount of freedom , dignity , security , and prosperity . Peace is not just possible , it ' s necessary and urgent .
