Speak Out Against PM Netanyahu’s Dangerous Escalation in Gaza City & Call for a Permanent Ceasefire
I urge you to speak out against the Israeli government’s campaign to occupy Gaza City, call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, and pledge to oppose the further transfer of weapons to the Israeli government that are being used to devastate Palestinian communities.
Why is this important?
Prime Minister Netanyahu’s security cabinet approved his plan to launch a campaign to occupy Gaza City. New waves of bombing have already begun as the Israeli military moves toward a full takeover. Among those killed were five journalists, some of the last remaining voices in Gaza conveying their tragic reality to the world.
The Israeli government’s dangerous escalation will only deepen the ongoing catastrophe suffered by Palestinians, endanger the remaining hostages, and indefinitely drag out the war. A permanent ceasefire is desperately needed.
A ceasefire can save lives in Gaza by stopping the bombing and allowing opportunities for critically needed humanitarian relief. It can reunite the remaining hostages with their loved ones. A ceasefire can provide safety for people across the region.
A ceasefire can make a massive and immediate positive difference in people’s lives. That’s why dozens of members of Congress are already on record with their support — and as PM Netanyahu’s disastrous, self-interested decision takes shape, we need every member of Congress to jump into action NOW.
