The death toll in Gaza is ticking closer to 40,000 and CNN reports parts of Gaza are “unrecognizable”. The Israeli Prime Minister is undermining diplomacy and ignoring calls for a ceasefire from his citizens. Hawks in Congress are all too eager to fuel the fire with more weapons. And U.S. intelligence has confirmed that a large-scale confrontation between the Israeli military and Hezbollah is likely.

A war in Lebanon would be catastrophic for people living in the region, but that’s not the only reason we’re worried: We’ve already seen deadly clashes between U.S. troops and Iranian government-backed militias, and if the Netanyahu government expands its war in Gaza to include a full-scale war against Hezbollah, the situation only gets worse. The simple reality is that the tit-for-tat violence we’re seeing on the Israel-Lebanon border threatens a rapid — and incredibly dangerous — spiral into all-out war in the Middle East.

That’s why we’re sounding the alarm. The choice we face is one between de-escalation and more war, and the president needs to hear from you now.

Every bomb that lands, every building that crumbles, and every life cut short is a reminder we need to go further to end the violence. Add your name to remind President Biden: No one wants war in Lebanon.
