Indivisible has joined the global community in expressing our horror and grief at the loss of over 1,400 Israelis, Americans, and foreign citizens in Hamas’ horrific attacks on October 7, and echoed calls for all hostages to be released immediately. 

Since then, the humanitarian situation in Gaza has deteriorated catastrophically with Israel’s ongoing bombardment and blockade of life-sustaining supplies like water, food, medicine, and power. The death toll continues to rise by the hour, including thousands of Palestinian children.

The bombing has to stop. 

Earlier this year, President Biden announced a ceasefire framework that could bring a stop to the hostilities and return all hostages to their families. But time after time, Prime Minister Netanyahu has undermined efforts to finalize the ceasefire deal, including in his address before Congress. Meanwhile, the families of hostages are protesting him for refusing to prioritize bringing their loved ones home. 

Enough is enough. 

No more US weapons for Netanyahu’s war. The US must use every ounce of leverage, including withholding offensive military assistance, to finalize the ceasefire deal that’s on the table and stop the killing.

Indivisible continues to support the recommendations from progressive foreign policy leaders, compiled by the Center for International Policy, for ending the war and protecting Israeli and Palestinian lives. The necessary first step is for US leaders to push for a cessation of hostilities to prevent the further loss of civilian life and escalation of human suffering. 

This crisis is a challenge to our humanity. It calls us to lean into our solidarity, with our communities at home and with those on the other side of the globe. It calls us to stand bravely for the basic principle that human lives are precious. And it calls us to advocate for peace, urging our elected officials to do the same.
