We need a permanent ceasefire, for Hamas to release all hostages, and start negotiations for an independent Palestinian state with equal rights living side by side with a secure Israel.
John,
This week, the world watched in horror as Israel executed a series of airstrikes in Rafah, a city on the southern edge of the Gaza Strip where 1.4 million Palestinians have fled to escape ongoing fighting in the region.
President Biden has warned Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu not to conduct military operations against Hamas in Rafah without a “credible and executable” plan to protect civilians. He is working to negotiate a six-week ceasefire to allow for hostage negotiations. But this is not enough.
We need a permanent ceasefire, for Hamas to release all hostages, and start negotiations for an independent Palestinian state with equal rights living side by side with a secure Israel.
Will you join me and RootsAction to demand an immediate, permanent ceasefire and release of all hostages? Then the work can begin towards establishing Palestine and Israel as two equal, independent nations.
