As Jewish and pro-Israel Americans, we urge you to listen to hostage families – and to the overwhelming majority of Israelis – calling for a deal to bring hostages home and end the war in Gaza.

We stand with the hundreds of thousands of Israeli protesters pouring into the streets and call on our leaders to do everything they can to end the suffering once and for all.

No more excuses. No more blame shifting. No more delay.

Ongoing military action has failed to free the hostages and has only resulted in unfathomable grief and devastation, deepening suffering for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

It’s time to put the lives of the hostages and Palestinian civilians first. Let no more soldiers or civilians lose their lives. It’s time to end this war.
