Becca Balint Statement Following Deadly Israeli Strike on Rafa | 2024-05-29 | 2024 | 2024-05 | Democrat | House | VT | Becca Balint | B001318 | balint.house.gov | balint | https://balint.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | “Netanyahu must end this devastating war. Now. A redline has been crossed over and over again and the humanitarian crisis in Rafah is beyond words. The US must exert its influence to bring about an immediate end to this horrific violence, suffering, death and destruction. “Hamas must be brought to justice for the horror of October 7, and Israel has the right, in accordance with international law, to defend itself, but that is not what we are witnessing in Rafah today. Only a negotiated ceasefire will bring about an end to the war, bring home hostages, and end the suffering of civilians. Idly standing by while children are dying, is an unconscionable decision – and one that we cannot accept. “Netanyahu’s current path serves to bring more death and destruction to Gaza and risks any hope of regional peace and security. The United States must use all its leverage to bring an end to this war and find a political solution that serves all Israelis and Palestinians.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:01:11Z |
