The humanitarian crisis in Palestine is dire, with continued violence and human rights violations enabled by the flow of arms to Israeli forces. The UN has called for an immediate cessation of arms transfers that contribute to violations of international law. As a constituent, I urge our representatives to heed this call and enact an arms embargo on Israel. The status quo enables immense suffering and erosion of human rights. Denying arms transfers could pressure Israel to engage in meaningful peace negotiations and abide by international law. This decisive action is long overdue to promote justice and human dignity for the Palestinian people.
