Twenty Democratic lawmakers in the United States have urged President Joe Bidengaa to halt the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel, citing the Israeli government’s failure to comply with America’s demands for increased humanitarian aid to Gaza.
This was outlined in a letter addressed to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday.
The letter, spearheaded by lawmakers Summer Lee and Greg Casar, called on the Biden administration to enforce US laws that restrict military aid to nations committing war crimes or obstructing US-backed humanitarian efforts.

“We believe continuing to transfer offensive weapons to the Israeli government prolongs the suffering of the Palestinian people and risks our own national security by sending a message to the world that the US will apply its laws, policies, and international law selectively,” the letter stated.
The lawmakers warned that failing to act would extend the Israeli war on Gaza, “isolating Israel on the international stage and creating further instability in the region.”
