HRes 786 Ceasefire Now Resolution October 2023

Churches for Middle East Peace (CMEP) is deeply saddened by the continued violence, bloodshed, and unfathomable level of grief felt by the many Israelis and Palestinians who have lost friends and loved ones. A protracted Israeli military offensive, including a possible ground invasion, could result in considerably more deaths and a broader regional war. CMEP denounces all forms of violence in this conflict and calls for an immediate ceasefire.

We have encouraged our supporters to ask their Congressional members to call for a ceasefire in Israel/Palestine. Now, there is a Congressional Resolution, introduced by Reps. Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib doing just that. HRes 786 demands an “immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Israel and occupied Palestine.”

Alongside Reps. Bush and Tlaib, the Resolution is currently supported by Reps. Jayapal, Frost, Carson, Barbara Lee, Ramirez, Bowman, Watson Coleman, Chuy Garcia, Joshua Jackson, Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Pressley, Velazquez, Summer Lee, Casar, and Adams.

HRes 786 calls on the Biden administration to “urgently end the current violence” and open up corridors to Gaza for “humanitarian assistance.” Each day without a ceasefire will just bring more suffering, pain, and death to civilians in Israel/Palestine.

Subject: Cosponsor HRes 786 Ceasefire Now Resolution

Message:

As your constituent and a person of faith, I am deeply troubled by the continued escalations in Israel and Gaza. I implore you to support the Ceasefire Now Resolution, H.Res 786 which seeks to facilitate an immediate and lasting ceasefire. Now is not the time to sit idly as civilians in both Israel and Palestine to pay dearly for violence they did not initiate. I mourn with the Israelis and Palestinians who are grieving the loss of loved ones and call on Congress to cosponsor HRes 786, the Ceasefire Now Resolution, which will encourage restraint by all parties, open up humanitarian corridors to Gaza, where aid is desperately needed, and protect the lives of Israeli and Palestinian civilians. Half of Gaza’s population are children–children who have seen far too much destruction and death. As a constituent, I am committed to a future in which both Israelis and Palestians can live in peace with security and human rights protected for all. Congress must put forth policies that will help secure an immediate ceasefire, de-escalation, and restraint to put a stop to further loss of civilian life in Israel and Palestine. The Ceasefire Now Resolution is a good place to start. Sincerely,
