Rep. Pramila Jayapal and Rep. Rashida Tlaib are introducing legislation to halt nearly $4 billion in weapon sales to Israel following its decision to end a ceasefire and escalate military actions in Gaza. Jayapal argues that continued U.S. arms provision fuels complicity in violence and advocates for a ceasefire to ensure humanitarian aid and security. This move follows previous attempts to block over $8 billion in arms proposed by the Trump administration, underscoring increasing scrutiny of military support amid accusations of war crimes against Israel.
Continuing to provide the Israeli government with offensive weapons, even as they violate both international and U.S. laws, is unacceptable and makes us complicit in this violence and destruction.
With Netanyahu violating the ceasefire in Gaza and resuming the genocidal bombing campaign, we need to save lives and stop the killing.
