Calls for a ceasefire now would leave Hamas armed and in power, ready and able to continue terrorizing Israelis.
America must give Israel the time, resources and diplomatic support it needs to protect its families and drive Hamas out of Gaza.
While humanitarian aid groups call for more assistance, Hamas has surplus resources stored underground after siphoning off billions in international aid to build its terror force.
Dear A.,
Three weeks ago today, Hamas broke a ceasefire with Israel – smashing through 80 sites on the border to massacre 1,400 Israelis and kidnap 229 people. Calls for a ceasefire now would leave Hamas armed and in power, ready and able to continue terrorizing Israelis.
Over the past 24 hours, the IDF has expanded its operation against Hamas. Ground forces and tank units are now operating in the Gaza Strip, destroying booby trapped buildings and targeting key sites. The Israeli Air Force struck 150 underground targets.
Israel also killed the Hamas commander who helped plan the October 7 massacre and led the paraglider division that killed Israelis at the music festival.
America must give Israel the time, resources, and diplomatic support it needs to protect its families and drive Hamas out of Gaza.
TWO ACTIONS TO TAKE:
Click here to tell Congress to pass the president’s emergency funding request for Israel.
Click here to tell the House to vote for legislation this week to increase the pressure on Iran and Hamas.
Today, The New York Times reported that Hamas has enough supplies in its tunnels to last 3-4 months – including fuel, rockets and ammunition. Hamas’ army is 40,000 strong. They are well-armed and well-prepared for a long war.
Hamas’ war stocks further expose how the terror group cares more about killing Israelis than helping Palestinians. While humanitarian aid groups call for more assistance, Hamas has surplus resources stored underground after siphoning off billions in international aid to build its terror force.
WATCH POWERFUL INTERVIEW WITH SON OF HAMAS: Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of Hamas’ founder, and Piers Morgan discuss Hamas’ goals, objectives, and its maniacal obsession with killing Jews.
Israeli parents of kidnapped children continue to make emotional and powerful pleas for help. Watch these two short animated and agonizing videos: "Mama Bear," and one produced by the parents of a 16-year-old and a 12-year-old kidnapped to Gaza.
