Hold the Israeli Government Accountable for West Bank Violence

I urge you to support the Senate resolution to report on the Israeli government’s human rights practices under Section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act.
Why is this important?
Senators Sanders, Kaine (D-VA), and Van Hollen (D-MD) are leading the charge to change a horrific status quo and end settler attacks and illegal land grabs in the West Bank — it starts with ending U.S. complicity in this violence.
When the Senate returns to session, these lawmakers will invoke a powerful, rarely-used procedural rule to demand a report from the Secretary of State on human rights abuses in the West Bank. It’s a report that could result in an END to U.S. arms sales to the Israeli government.
We don’t need to convince you that the violence Palestinians are experiencing is wrong; that it’s immoral or illegal. But as U.S. bulldozers and weapons help fuel this violence, we’re reminding you that you can play a key role in advocating for it to stop.
