After boxing 1.4 million Palestinians into Rafah,

Netanyahu has approved plans to invade the city. This invasion could be the worst thing Israel does since the start of their brutal attack on Gaza. We cannot let it happen. Israel’s military relies primarily on US support. Biden could stop the invasion by ending arms transfers to Israel. Demand he acts now, before it’s too late :

Dear friends,

The world is holding its breath as Israel prepares for

a massive ground invasion in Rafah , the last refuge in Gaza where over a million civilians have gathered. Thousands more innocent children could die , caught in the crossfire with no escape. Right now, Israel’s Minister of Defense is in DC to request more weapons ahead of the attack on Rafah. Sign this urgent plea for peace -- calling President Biden to halt arms to Israel before it's too late.

Dear President Biden, You can stop Israel from invading Rafah and starving over a million civilians to death.
America is Israel’s biggest arms dealer . You are giving American weapons to a government that is blocking life-saving aid and violating international law. This will only stop when you demand it stops. As people from across the world, we call on you to stop fueling death and suffering in Gaza. No more arms to Israel !

The United Nations Security Council just passed a resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza for the month of Ramadan. For the last five months the US has vetoed these calls over and over. Finally, Biden’s resistance is crumbling thanks to public pressure in the US and around the world. But Israel has no intention to honor the ceasefire unless the US makes them . This is a crucial moment for us to double down pressure on the Biden administration.

As you read this,Israel’s key defense officials are in DC pushing the US for more ammunition and weapons. President Biden has agreed to 100 such transfers in the last 6 months. The US government must not be sending arms to governments that violate international law -- like Israel is doing by blocking food and aid, and not honoring the ceasefire resolution.
Join this massive plea for peace and for an end to US arms to Israel -- Avaaz will ensure our message goes directly to the Biden administration.

SIGN THE OPEN LETTER ( [link removed] )

Together we’ve funded aid groups to bring food into Gaza. We’ve organized hundreds of thousands to call for a ceasefire around the world. We’ve brought doctors from Gaza to meet with high-level officials in the US. We’ve supported families pushing for the release of the hostages and prisoners. We’ve advocated for war criminals to be held accountable at the world’s highest courts. And we are not giving up -- we will continue until this horrific war ends!

With hope and determination,
Gordon, Nell, Fadi, Antonia, Mo and the rest of the Avaaz team
