As Israel’s blockade of food and aid to the Gaza Strip enters its third month, Senate Democrats are calling on the White House to step in.
Sen. Peter Welch, one of the most outspoken Senate Democrats on the war, is introducing a new resolution this week to express the chamber’s concern for Palestinians in Gaza and call for the White House to “urgently use all diplomatic tools” to facilitate hostage releases, end the blockade on the delivery of food and aid to Gaza and stop the war.
The resolution already has the backing of 28 other Senate Democrats.
