It’s hard to argue any ceasefire exists in Lebanon at this point. The Israeli military has killed at least 400 people and destroyed more than 10,000 homes since a pause in the violence there was announced last month.

While the devastation grows there and violence simmers across the West Bank, Gaza, and beyond, the Trump administration just bypassed Congress to push through yet another set of arms sales to multiple governments across the Middle East. That includes nearly $1 BILLION in U.S.-made offensive Advanced Precision Kill Weapon Systems for Israel’s military.

In the past, a weapons sale like this might have gone through without issue. But the tide is turning, and the number of lawmakers willing to vote to block weapons sales to the Israeli government is increasing.

This shift didn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of years of nonstop advocacy to upend a broken status quo that enables harm and suffering, and we’re not stopping now. Today, we need to band together and make sure Congress hears the massive, growing public outcry demanding that they stop this and other deadly deals.
