Pro-Israel US senator criticises Gaza City invasion

Democratic US Senator Chris Coons, who has been a staunch supporter of Israel, voices opposition to the Israeli plan to seize Gaza City.

“Netanyahu’s ground invasion of Gaza City is a dangerous mistake that will worsen the tragic humanitarian crisis in Gaza,” Coons, a close ally of former US President Joe Biden, wrote in a social media post.

“I will always stand for Israel’s right to self-defense, but this move risks thousands of innocent lives and only makes the return of hostages held by Hamas and a ceasefire harder to achieve.”


US Muslim group urges Congress to stop Gaza genocide after UN report

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) says Congress has a moral and legal obligation to stop the mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza after the UN Commission of Inquiry’s report that concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

“The world can no longer look away. The evidence of genocide in Gaza is overwhelming, and now it has been confirmed by a United Nations investigation. The Israeli government has acted with clear intent to destroy the Palestinian population in Gaza,” the group said in a statement.

“We call on members of Congress to immediately recognize this genocide, condemn it in the strongest possible terms, and act to suspend all military aid to the Israeli government. Our nation cannot continue using American taxpayer dollars to fund what every know [sic] is a genocide, whether they admit or not.”

Congress authorises billions of dollars in military aid to Israel annually.


‘We must stop funding this genocide,’ says US lawmaker

Greg Casar, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, has raised the alarm about Israel’s invasion of Gaza City.

“We must stop funding this genocide,” he wrote in a social media post.

“Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians live in Gaza City. “They will have to flee again or risk being killed. This is what [former] Defense Minister Yoav Gallant meant when he said ‘we will eliminate everything’ in Gaza.”

‘We have a moral responsibility to stop enabling this genocide’: Ilhan Omar

The progressive US congresswoman says the UN Commission of Inquiry’s report that concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza makes it clear that people in the territory are going through the “deliberate destruction of Palestinians”.



Arms embargo against Israel is ‘the bare minimum’: Rashida Tlaib

The Palestinian-American congresswoman calls for action against Israel after the UN Commission of Inquiry’s report that confirmed that the Israeli military is carrying out a genocide in Gaza.

“As the apartheid regime accelerates its destruction and ethnic cleansing of Gaza, the UN has concluded what we’ve already known: Israel, with full US support, is committing genocide in Palestine,” she wrote in a social media post.

“Boycott, Divest, Sanction. An arms embargo is the bare minimum. Free Palestine.”
