Friends,

As Congress debates a package to deliver military assistance to Ukraine
and Israel – and urgent humanitarian relief for families in Gaza – our
advocacy team is asking for your support.

As we advocate for the funding – which includes Iron Dome support,
humanitarian relief and additional military aid to Israel – we’re also
pressing for the inclusion of a vital, common sense amendment to protect
civilian lives, ensure humanitarian access and support international law.

The Arms Accountability Amendment – proposed by J Street champion Senator
Chris Van Hollen – applies transparency measures and safeguards to all US
aid recipients, ensuring that our government carries out assessments on
each recipient government’s compliance with international law, support for
humanitarian aid, and commitment to protecting civilian lives.

This is an achievable, meaningful, practical step that will protect
civilian lives and ensure all US military aid aligns with our goals,
interests and values. If you agree, please add your name to our petition.

To be clear: This common sense measure imposes no unique standards on any
country.

Instead, it increases transparency to ensure US funding for the defense of
our allies and partners is used for that purpose – decreasing the risk of
it being diverted in a way which would conflict with our values, threaten
the safety of civilians or undermine our shared interests.

With respect to Israel, this will help ensure our aid can only be used for
legitimate security needs, and not diverted by the Netanyahu government to
support settlements, annexation or other violations of international law.
It will assist the White House as it presses the Israeli government to do
more to facilitate the urgent delivery of humanitarian aid to families in
Gaza.

Friends, I hope we can count on your support. [ [link removed] ]Read, sign and

We believe this measure will help build the broadest, most enduring base
of Congressional support for vital military aid for our allies and
partners.
