More than 400 US political officials sent a letter to the president joe biden They protest his administration’s policy regarding Israel and support for attacks on Gaza strip.
In the letter, the officials called for an urgent ceasefire in Gaza, and issued a call to stop the escalation of the current conflict by ensuring the immediate release of the detained Israeli and Palestinian “hostages,” and the delivery of adequate humanitarian aid by restoring water, fuel, electricity, and other basic services in the Strip.
The letter confirmed that, according to opinion polls, the majority of Americans support a ceasefire in Gaza, adding that they do not want to drag their country’s army into another costly and useless war in the Middle East.
The American New York Times quoted two officials who participated in preparing the letter, saying that the majority of the signatories are politicians with different beliefs who work in 40 different government institutions, and they confirmed that the personalities who signed the letter played a major role in electing Biden to the presidency.
The United States is witnessing a popular decline in support for unlimited American support for Israel in its war on the Gaza Strip, and a number of demonstrations have taken place to demand a ceasefire, lifting the siege on Gaza, and ending the Israeli occupation.
