Congress must pass the $14.3 billion aid package to ensure Israel has what it needs to win this war.
Hamas is deliberately using civilian infrastructure – including hospitals – to store weapons, fire rockets at Israelis, and connect their elaborate underground tunnel network.
Hamas is in control of approximately 1 million liters of fuel. Instead of using this fuel to power hospitals, water and sewage facilities, Hamas uses it for its terror operations.
Dear A.,
Earlier today, Israel announced that Ori Megidish, an IDF soldier who was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, was found during a rescue operation in Gaza. She is now home with her family after this horrific ordeal. Below my signature is a video of Ori reuniting with her family.
The IDF also confirmed today that Shani Louk, a 23-year-old German-Israeli who was taken from the music festival, was murdered by the terrorists. Her photo from the festival, and gruesome videos of her on the back of a Hamas pickup truck, were widely distributed in the days after October 7. May Shani’s memory be a blessing.
This week, the House will vote on several pieces of pro-Israel legislation, including the president’s $14.3 billion emergency request for Israel. This is vital funding that Israel needs to win this war. We strongly support this initial vote and urge Democrats and Republicans to pass this critical assistance.
TAKE TWO ACTIONS TONIGHT:
Contact Congress: Urge the House to vote for the $14.3 billion emergency aid package for Israel, and thank the Senate and White House for standing with Israel.
Urge your House member to vote for the SHIP Act and other Iran-related legislation to increase the pressure on the regime and its proxy Hamas.
America must stand with Israel and provide the time, resources, and support it needs to protect its families and drive Hamas out of Gaza.
Israel is now operating on the ground in Gaza, as the IDF continues to strike Hamas targets from the air. Soldiers have entered Gaza from the north and central parts of the Strip, working to eliminate terrorists and destroy tunnel entrances.
This is an extremely dangerous and complex operation. Hamas has spent years building a labyrinth of tunnels under Gaza – often referred to as "the Gaza metro" - and has stored enough supplies to sustain a war for months. The terror group is deliberately using civilian infrastructure – including hospitals – to store weapons, fire rockets at Israelis, and connect their elaborate underground tunnel network.
MUST READ:Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA)’s op-ed in Newsweek declares that "those who are demanding a ceasefire should aim their demands at Hamas."
More than 170 trucks carrying humanitarian supplies have entered Gaza in the last 10 days. According to COGAT, the Israeli agency responsible for civil needs in Gaza, there are no food or water shortages in the territory. All hospitals in Gaza have alternative fuel sources, including solar energy.
Hamas is in control of approximately 1 million liters of fuel. Instead of using this fuel to power hospitals, water and sewage facilities, Hamas uses it for its terror operations.
Israeli forces in Gaza rescued Ori this weekend after she was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on October 7.
