AIPAC applauds the Biden administration for vetoing today’s dangerous U.N. Security Council resolution.
62 days into the war, Hamas is still attacking Israeli civilians. The defense systems we lobby for are saving countless lives.
America must continue to give Israel the time, diplomatic support, and resources it needs to achieve its goals: Freeing the hostages, destroying Hamas, and eliminating the threat from Gaza.
Dear A.,
This afternoon, the U.S. vetoed a dangerous resolution at the U.N. Security Council which failed to mention Hamas, called for an "immediate" ceasefire, and ignored the 137 hostages still held in Gaza.
This resolution was considered at the urging of U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who invoked a rarely used authority to press the Security Council to address the issue. Notably, Guterres never used this power to address Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or China’s abuse of the Uyghurs.
AIPAC applauds the Biden administration for this important action, and the majority of Democrats and Republicans in Congress who are consistently demonstrating America’s support for our ally.
ATTACKS ON ISRAEL CONTINUE: 62 days into the war, Hamas is still attacking Israeli civilians.
This evening, Hamas launched a barrage of rockets at Tel Aviv and central Israel, sending millions of Israelis into bomb shelters.
The IDF reports that Hamas is deliberately launching rockets from within areas designated by Israel as safe zones for civilians in Gaza – yet another example of how Hamas despicably uses the people of Gaza as cover to attack and kill Israelis.
TAKE ACTION THIS WEEKEND: As Israel continues to defend its citizens, we must continue calling on Congress to pass the full $14.3 billion emergency funding package. This funding is essential to ensuring Israel has the resources it needs to win this war.
INTENSE FIGHTING CONTINUES IN GAZA: Israel struck more than 450 Hamas targets today, including more terror tunnels, Hamas outposts, and weapons facilities.
The IDF is steadily overtaking Hamas in the densely populated city of Khan Younis, but is facing some of the fiercest fighting since the war began.
90 Israeli soldiers have now been killed during the ground operation, with loved ones being lost from across Israel’s diverse demography.
The IDF believes it will take several weeks to root out Hamas from Khan Younis. America must continue to give Israel the time, diplomatic support, and resources it needs to achieve its goals: Freeing the hostages, destroying Hamas, and eliminating the threat from Gaza.
Below are several videos to watch and share this weekend.
