We write to you as pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy Americans who support the difficult, necessary decision to delay the transfer of certain offensive weapons to the Israeli government.

We know you care deeply for Israel’s future and reject attacks from AIPAC and MAGA voices. The suspension of certain offensive weapons is a measured, strategic and appropriate response and an excellent step forward.

Our support for Israel’s security is ironclad, but it cannot come in the form of a blank check for those who undermine our shared values and interests. Like you, we share deep concerns over the provision of humanitarian aid and the risks associated with military operations in Rafah. Thank you for understanding and acting upon these priorities. You can count on our support.

Sincerely, The Undersigned
