Senate Action Marks Unprecedented Support for Ending Gaza Blockade May 20, 2025 - Today, Senators debated S.Res.224. This resolution, introduced just last week, calls on the White House to work to secure the release of the hostages, end the blockade on humanitarian aid, and bring a durable end to the conflict in Gaza. New Jewish Narrative mobilized to build support for the resolution immediately after it was introduced. We did so because food should never be used as a weapon of war, and it is vital that we use our collective voices to say so from the halls of Congress to the bimahs of our synagogues. Imposing a total blockade on the entire population of Gaza is a form of collective punishment and a violation of the Geneva Convention. | |
