After a seven-day fact-finding mission to Gaza’s border, the West Bank, Egypt, and Jordan, Senators Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) released a landmark report accusing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of overseeing a campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people — and implicating the United States government as complicit through its continued military support. United Voices is amplifying their findings.
United Voices applauds U.S. Senators Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) for traveling to the Middle East and attempting to enter Gaza to witness the humanitarian catastrophe firsthand — and is calling on more members of Congress to follow their lead and use every legislative tool available to end the U.S.-backed blockade.
During the August congressional recess, 14 Democrats and 20 Republicans skipped their constituents and traveled to Israel on trips funded by AIPAC’s American Israel Education Foundation — meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while Gaza’s death toll surpassed 61,000. United Voices is publishing the names.
The death toll from Israel’s forced starvation of Gaza has reached 175 people — 93 of them children. On the same day that number was reported, Israeli forces killed at least 92 people including dozens of aid seekers, and Israeli extremists staged a provocative intrusion on the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. United Voices is documenting the compounding horror.
