US Senator Dick Durbin has distinguished himself by being the first senator to call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict, a position that contrasts with President Biden and his Senate Democratic colleagues who back a 'pause'. Durbin's call for dialogue comes in stark contrast to another US Senator's call for 'no limit' on civilian casualties in Israel's response to Hamas attacks. His stance is further underscored by Hamas' vow to commit terrorist attacks 'again and again'. Durbin has also criticized Israel over the 'unacceptable' civilian death toll. His call for ceasefire is echoed by 18 House Democrats who are co-sponsoring a resolution for an immediate ceasefire.
