The prolonged violence against Palestinian civilians in Gaza is unconscionable. As medical professionals directly witnessing the devastating consequences, their message is clear: an immediate arms embargo on Israel is imperative to halt the killing and protect innocent lives. The weaponry supplied by the United States is directly contributing to grave human rights violations and war crimes. No more excuses – talk is not enough. Concrete action through an arms embargo is the only moral path forward to end this cycle of violence and create a just and lasting peace. They urge representatives to heed the call of constituents and human rights advocates worldwide by taking decisive steps to impose a comprehensive embargo on arms sales and military aid to Israel until it fully complies with international law and respects Palestinian human rights.
