Tell Congress to increase pressure

on Hamas&hellip;not Israel.

Ever since Hamas&rsquo; brutal October 7 attack, the facts have been clear.

Hamas is the obstacle to a deal that would free hostages, pause fighting, and enable more humanitarian aid to flow into Gaza.


Below is a partial timeline of Israel repeatedly accepting U.S.-backed offers, while Hamas has rejected them:

April 27: "Israel made an extraordinary, generous offer for a hostage deal" -Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

May 31: Israel accepted a U.S.-backed proposal. Hamas rejected it.

June 11: "Israel accepted this deal. If Hamas does not, it will bear full responsibility for prolonging the war." -U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield

August 16: Israel accepted the U.S. bridging proposal. Hamas rejected.

August 19: "Israel accepted the U.S. proposal. Now Hamas must do the same." -Secretary Blinken

September 5: &ldquo;The biggest obstacle to getting a ceasefire deal is Hamas&rdquo; - White House spokesperson John Kirby


Despite this, many anti-Israel members of Congress continue to blame Israel. And now, some members are vowing to introduce a resolution to block vital weapons shipments to Israel.

Tell Congress: Oppose Efforts to Block Arms to Israel.

Israel is facing a multi-front war against Iran and the regime&rsquo;s terrorist proxies in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, and across the Middle East.


It&rsquo;s vital that we urge Congress to stand with Israel and ensure our ally has the weapons it needs to protect its families from these threats and deter its enemies.

Please take 45 seconds to email your members of Congress and urge them to oppose any effort to block or delay military aid to the Jewish state.


Thank you for helping us keep Israel safe and secure.


Sincerely,

Brian Shankman

Chief Strategy Director for National Affairs
