A coalition of nearly 30 Democratic lawmakers, including Reps. Carbajal, Pettersen, Bill Foster, Cori, Jimmy Panetta, Greg Stanton, Emilia Sykes, and RepTlaib, have collectively voiced their support for the Biden Administration's efforts to negotiate a ceasefire in Gaza. Their support was expressed through a letter aimed at advocating for a temporary pause in the ongoing conflict. This initiative seeks to facilitate the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas, provide critical humanitarian aid to millions of Palestinian civilians displaced by the war, and pave the way towards ending the conflict. The lawmakers' call for action underscores the urgency of protecting civilian lives and delivering aid amidst the war. Additionally, Pope Francis has also shown support for the negotiations, emphasizing the immediate need for a ceasefire to ensure the safety and well-being of civilians and the release of hostages.
My colleagues and I resolutely believe that peace is possible in the Middle East. We urged the Biden Administration to continue negotiations to bring about a temporary truce needed to get hostages out and humanitarian aid into Gaza. https://t.co/SxmCsZbCaJ
2. I encourage ongoing negotiations for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and throughout the region, so that the hostages may be immediately released and civilians may safely access the necessary and urgent humanitarian aid. And let us not forget martyred Ukraine.
