Friend, 

Just a few moments ago, 145 members of the House released a congressional
letter slamming President Trump’s abhorrent, unworkable plan to “take
over” Gaza and force out 2 million Palestinians who call the land home.

This is a big deal. The fact that this letter is signed by over two-thirds
of House Democrats – including a majority of the Jewish members – is
deeply meaningful.

“The United States cannot promote forced displacement as a solution to
this conflict,” the letter reads. The proposal is not only “morally
indefensible” but “risks destabilizing the delicate ceasefire currently in
place, endangering hostages still being held by Hamas, fueling extremist
sentiments, and serving as a recruiting tool for terrorist organizations.”

Such a broadly signed letter sends a powerful message to partner countries
and pro-peace Israelis and Palestinians that there is major dissent in the
United States about this proposal. With our allies in Congress, we’re
making clear that most Jewish and pro-Israel Americans see Trump’s plan as
a gross violation of our values and a path only to more war, chaos and
misery.

Together, we have to keep pressing our allies to forcefully push back
against dangerous policies from Trump, Netanyahu and the pro-war,
pro-annexation, anti-democratic forces on the extreme right both here and
in Israel. We have to give voice to our values, and we have to fight for
them too.

I want to thank Representatives Brad Sherman and Sean Casten – the
pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy champions who led this effort in
Congress – and everyone in our movement who signed our petition, called
their members and helped us rally support.

Thank you, sincerely, for your support.
