Demand Progress

Netanyahu made alarming comments this week saying the Israeli army is “on the eve of a forceful entry to Gaza” to seize and occupy land in Gaza and displace Palestinians. “It’s time to launch the concluding moves,” he said of the planned “intensive” Israeli army campaign.¹

The United Nations warned again this week of a growing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza as Israel’s aid blockade continues blocking food, water and medical aid from reaching Palestinians.²

Netanyahu’s plan to ethnically cleanse northern Gaza is backed with the continuous flow of American funding and weapons. Congress must end U.S. support for Israel’s war on Palestinians.

Sign the petition: Tell Congress to stop sending weapons to support Israel’s atrocities in Gaza.

“Displacement means death, humiliation, homelessness,” said a Palestinian man in northern Gaza who has already had to move his family six times because of Israel’s violence.³

2.3 million Gazans are running out of food and water, many facing starvation, while Israel drops bombs, kills tens of thousands of Palestinians, and plans another round of devastating displacement. How can our lawmakers in Congress support Netanyahu and Israel’s siege in Gaza?

Congress is running out of time to save lives in Gaza — they must act now.

Sign the petition: Urge Congress to stop billions in weapons sales to Israel.
