Connolly (D-VA), Peter Welch (D-VT), John Yarmuth (D-KY), Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), and Alan Lowenthal (D-CA) released a statement on the escalating violence in Israel and Gaza: “The recent outbreak of violence in Israel and Gaza has led to hundreds of casualties. Innocent lives have been lost. It is of the utmost necessity that an immediate ceasefire be put in place and further bloodshed averted.

We urge the Biden administration, at the highest levels, to boldly lead and take decisive action.” |
