Senior U.S. Legislators Call to Suspend Military Aid to Israel

Chicago, Illinois, April 5, 2024

As demonstrators persist in their demand to end all U.S. aid to Israel and stop U.S./Israeli genocide, Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts in early April said she thinks the International Court of Justice will find Israel guilty of genocide and "they have ample evidence to do so." This follows a letter to President Biden from six senior members of the House of Representatives. The letter urged him to invoke U.S. foreign assistance laws to suspend military aid to Israel due to the starvation it is imposing on the people of Gaza. "Given the catastrophic and devolving humanitarian situation in Gaza, we urge you to enforce the Humanitarian Aid Corridor Act (Section 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act) and, as required by that law, make clear to the Israeli government that so long as Israel continues to restrict the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, the continued provision of U.S. security assistance to Israel would constitute a violation of existing U.S. law and must be restricted," the letter reads.
