Support S.Res.504 for Transparency and Accountability in Israeli Human Rights Practices

The passage of S.Res.504 is crucial to ensure transparency and accountability in the Israeli government's human rights practices. This resolution mandates a State Department report within 30 days, providing essential data for informed debates on U.S. support for Israeli operations in Gaza and the West Bank. Evidence of potential war crimes, including the use of U.S.-made weapons, necessitates immediate action. The U.S. must suspend weapon transfers to Israel until the risk of unlawful use is eliminated. A comprehensive UN Security Council arms embargo on Israel, Hamas, and other armed groups is also advocated. Congressional oversight is vital to ensure arms transfers and military aid align with U.S. and international law, as well as civilian protection responsibilities. Co-sponsor S.Res.504 to uphold these principles.
