Congress Largely Silent on Gaza Crisis Despite U.S. Role
- Most members of Congress have refused to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, enabling Israel's military action.
- Israel depends heavily on U.S. arms and funding to conduct its military operations.
- President Biden and Congress have not pressured Israel to stop its attacks, which have killed thousands and displaced most of Gaza's population.
- Only 17 House members have signed on to a ceasefire resolution; others offer weak calls for peace or conditional ceasefires.
- Constituents should hold their representatives accountable through protests for enabling Israel's actions in Gaza.
