Hi Friends, 

I’m writing to share with you the latest column from the J Street Policy
Center, authored by my colleague Avraham Spraragen: “[ [link removed] ]Biden Must Enforce
US Law on Military Aid to Israel.”

In their October 13 letter to top Israeli government officials, Secretary
of State Blinken and Secretary of Defense Austin called on Israel to take
steps within 30 days to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza. The
letter outlined fifteen concrete measures to increase humanitarian aid,
ensure the proper functioning of humanitarian corridors, and end the
isolation of northern Gaza. Blinken and Austin warned Israel that failure
to implement these measures by the deadline would have consequences,
pursuant to US law. Following the expiration of the 30 days, eight leading
NGOs released a scorecard outlining how Israel has failed to meet any of
the fifteen US government metrics.

[ [link removed] ]Avraham’s column makes the case that the Biden Administration must
respond to this failure by upholding US law and withholding certain
offensive weapons transfers to Israel. President Biden should take this
step before leaving office in order to send a clear and firm message that
the US will not support the manner in which Netanyahu continues to wage
this war.

Please feel free to share it widely.

Warm regards,
Debra
