Urge Congress to Oppose Efforts to Block Arms Sale to Israel TAKE ACTION
As rockets rain down on Israelis, resolutions to block a proposed U.S. arms sale to Israel are expected to be introduced in both the House and Senate today.
This sale has been approved by the Biden administration. Blocking this sale would reward Hamas’s strategy, weaken America and Israel, and increase civilian casualties in a future conflict.
The U.S. must continue to stand with Israel. The arms in question are crucial to ensuring Israel can protect itself from future threats posed by Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran.
Please contact your members of Congress and strongly urge them to oppose any attempt to block the arms sale to our ally and partner Israel.
In these times of crisis, our hearts are with Israel and the Jewish Nation more than ever, כעם אחד בלב אחד -- as one nation with one heart. Take Action for Israel
