Friends,
Yesterday, we welcomed news that the temporary ceasefire in Gaza will be extended by two days – a reprieve in the violence which means more hostages will be reunited with their families, and more food, water, shelter and medicine will reach desperate families in Gaza.
This is unquestionably a great relief, yet we know it is far from enough.
All hostages must be released immediately and unconditionally. Palestinian families must be protected, sheltered and receive the supplies they need. President Biden should set clear red lines for Netanyahu – to ensure that civilians are safe, that there is a strategic and achievable plan for the day after, and that the long-term interests of Israelis, Palestinians and the United States are truly advanced.
We do not know what will happen next, but we do know the voice of our pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy movement is more essential than ever.
Friends – If that voice matters to you, please consider a Giving Tuesday contribution of $18, $36 or $90 – or any other amount – to fund our advocacy. Select a contribution here.
