Hi,

Rafah is under imminent threat of invasion.

The Israeli military has begun warning Palestinians to flee the densely
populated Gazan city.^1 Over a million Palestinians had already fled their
homes and taken refuge in Rafah.^2 Where does Netanyahu’s military want
them to go now?

Israel’s ground invasion in Rafah would be a devastating escalation
displacing, killing, and further cutting off humanitarian aid to even
greater numbers of Palestinians — many who’ve already fled their homes.^3
Congress has provided Netanyahu’s regime funding and bombs, but it must
take a stand against Israeli aggression right now and urge President Biden
to stop the invasion of Rafah.

invasion of Rafah and demand a permanent ceasefire now.

Israel's evacuation order is creating a "truly unspeakable humanitarian
catastrophe" given the lack of safe spaces and humanitarian aid elsewhere
in Gaza.^4

Hamas's attacks beginning on October 7 must be condemned, but Israel's
response has been disproportionate and taken an extraordinary civilian
toll — all while America has supplied the bombs and funding Israel needs
to kill tens of thousands of Palestinians.

It’s a moral failing of the U.S. government. And now our leaders must stop
the worst from happening.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name: Our leaders in Congress must call on President Biden to
stop Netanyahu from invading Rafah and demand a permanent ceasefire now.

Thanks for taking action,

Mark and the team at Demand Progress
