Human Rights Groups Call on Congress to Stop Purchase of Israeli Cluster Bombs

A coalition of human rights organizations, anti-war groups, and Christian churches are urging the U.S. to cancel its $210 million purchase of next-generation cluster munitions from an Israeli state-owned company, citing the "severe, foreseeable dangers" these weapons pose to civilians. In an open letter shared exclusively with RS, the organizations write that cluster munitions "disperse submunitions across broad areas, making it exceedingly difficult to confine their impact to lawful military targets."
