Hamas is still attacking and terrorizing Israelis.
A ceasefire now would give Hamas the ability to rest, rearm, and continue launching terrorist attacks against Israel.
America must continue to stand with Israel and give our ally the time, resources, and diplomatic support necessary to achieve its goals.
Dear A.,
At an emotional press conference today with French President Emmanuel Macron, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described some of the horrific details of the October 7th massacre.
"Like Anne Frank, Jewish children hid in attics from these monsters, and they were found and butchered."
Macron responded, "We will fight against this terror together, the way we fought against ISIS."
Earlier today, the IDF released an audio recording from October 7th. A Hamas terrorist calls his parents with the cellphone of an Israeli woman he just murdered, and brags about killing 10 Israelis. The parents of this terrorist praise him for what he did.
Seventeen days after the massacre, Hamas is still attacking and terrorizing Israelis. There have been rocket barrages fired at Israeli cities each day – but there were more rockets fired at Israel today than any day since the war started. Terrorists also attempted to infiltrate Israel by sea near Zikim Beach, but were eliminated before they could reach the shore.
OUR DAILY ROUTINE: We cannot communicate enough with Congress. Click here to take today’s action and urge your members to keep speaking out in support of Israel. If you’ve already emailed, please do so again.
Anti-Israel members of Congress continue to demand a ceasefire and are rallying their supporters to pressure senators, representatives, and President Biden.
A ceasefire now would only keep Hamas armed, in power, and able to commit more atrocities against Israel.
The State Department explicitly rejected the idea of a ceasefire now, saying "Any ceasefire would give Hamas the ability to rest, to refit, and to get ready to continue launching terrorist attacks against Israel. You can understand perfectly clearly why that’s an intolerable situation for Israel."
ENGAGE YOUR FRIENDS: Encourage your friends and family to join you in contacting Congress.

As Israel takes decisive action to protect its families and drive Hamas out of Gaza, it is conducting aerial strikes on key Hamas sites throughout the Strip. Israel targets terrorists, while Hamas targets civilians.
This war will be long and difficult. It is not a war Israel sought, but one it will win.
America must continue to stand with Israel and give our ally the time, resources, and diplomatic support it needs to achieve its goals.
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
