US Congressman Greg Casar also condemned the Israeli blockade on Gaza, saying: “The Israeli government has started bombing Gaza again, in violation of the negotiated ceasefire, after blocking food, water, and aid for weeks.”
“We must stop sending offensive weapons to the Israeli government,” Casar said. “We cannot continue to be complicit in Netanyahu’s assault on Palestinian families.”
