Moderate Democrats Urge Joe Biden To Pressure Israel To Change Its War Strategy
HuffPost
The group of lawmakers who are focused on national security and concerned about the U.S.-backed Israeli operation in Gaza includes several military veterans.
A group of six moderate House Democrats with national security backgrounds this week called on President Joe Biden to pressure Israel to make “an immediate and significant shift of military strategy and tactics in Gaza,” amid renewed pressure on the country to enact a new cease-fire.
The Democratic lawmakers warned that the rising civilian death toll and the humanitarian crisis on the ground in Gaza are “unacceptable, not in line with American interests, nor do they advance the cause of security for our ally Israel.”
The letter dated Monday states, “We also believe it jeopardizes efforts to destroy the terrorist organization Hamas and secure the release of all hostages.”
The release of hostages has been one of the main objectives the country has set for the war. Last week, Israel Defense Forces mistakenly killed three Israeli hostages in Gaza, prompting fresh concerns about the conflict.
The letter’s signatories include Reps. Jason Crow (Colo.), Mikie Sherrill (N.J.), Chrissy Houlahan (Pa.), Seth Moulton (Mass.), Abigail Spanberger (Va.) and Elissa Slotkin (Mich.).
