Hi,

Congress will vote this week on whether to send $20 billion of weapons to
Israel in support of its war against the people of Gaza.

The Biden administration gave Israel 30 days to "surge all forms of
humanitarian assistance throughout Gaza" or else further U.S. weapons
shipments could be blocked. That deadline has come and gone without Israel
getting humanitarian assistance to Palestinians, but so far our leaders
have taken no action to hold Israel accountable.^1 Congress must act and
block weapons sales to Israel NOW.

During the election, Trump told Netanyahu to “do what you have to do” on
the battlefield.^2 “I think he’s basically going to give Netanyahu a blank
check,” said former defense secretary Leon Panetta about Trump.^3

If Congress supports Bernie Sanders’s legislation to block this $20
billion weapons sale, it will send a message to Netanyahu and Trump that
lawmakers will not give Israel all the weapons and funding it wants to
continue killing civilians in Gaza and Lebanon. Senators Warren and Van
Hollen have joined Bernie Sanders’s effort to block the sale,^4 but we
need more support in Congress immediately.

Trump is ready to further intensify U.S. support for Netanyahu's wars, so
Congress must send a clear message to the Israeli leader right away.

Sanders’s legislation to block a $20 billion weapons sale to Israel.

Thanks for taking action,
