America must continue to stand with Israel and provide the support it needs throughout its operation to drive Hamas out of Gaza.
Israel is working to preserve life, while Hamas is fueling more death – forcing Palestinians to be human shields and blocking their evacuation south.
Calling for a ceasefire now is a transparent ploy to paint Israel as the aggressor and allow Hamas to stay in control of Gaza.
Dear A.,
America must continue to stand with Israel and provide the support it needs throughout its operation to drive Hamas out of Gaza.
Today, Israel announced that Hamas is holding at least 199 Israelis hostage in Gaza, including 13 Americans. Among the 199 hostages are babies, toddlers, teenagers, mothers, fathers and elderly.
Israeli medical professionals are sharing the horrific details of the barbaric torture Hamas put innocent people through. Children bound and burned alive. Parents forced to watch their children be killed. Rapes and beheadings.
As Israel prepares a ground operation to drive Hamas out of Gaza, it is urging innocent Palestinians to leave the northern Gaza Strip for the south. Israel is working with the United States, UN, and other countries to address humanitarian needs.
Israel is working to preserve life, while Hamas is fueling death – forcing Palestinians to be human shields. The terror group is putting road blocks along evacuation routes and discouraging people from leaving northern Gaza.
Today, UNRWA reported that Hamas stole 24,000 liters of fuel from the UN agency’s humanitarian mission – enough to run a hospital or a water desalination facility for 4 days – demonstrating yet again that Hamas has no regard for Palestinian lives. Hamas' theft comes after it destroyed the power lines entering Gaza and the widely used border crossings to bring humanitarian goods into the region.
The House and Senate continue to demonstrate overwhelming bipartisan support for Israel. 99 Senators have cosponsored a resolution backing the Jewish state and 424 House members are cosponsoring a similar resolution.
Meanwhile, members of the anti-Israel Squad have introduced a new resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire. Calling for a ceasefire now is a transparent ploy to paint Israel as the aggressor and allow Hamas to stay in control of Gaza. Emboldening a terror group that massacres Israelis and uses Palestinians as human shields will never achieve peace.
May God protect the brave soldiers of the IDF, provide comfort to the people of Israel, and safeguard those kidnapped by Hamas.
Sincerely,
Adam Harris
Director of Communications
