On Wednesday, Emgage Action released a statement calling on the administration to review Israeli military operations in Gaza and ensure that no human rights violations are committed with U.S. funding, and to “initiate a credible effort…aimed at ending Israel’s occupation of the Palestinians.” “While we are relieved that a ceasefaire is in place, we need to do a lot more to address the root causes of this crisis. If human rights is a priority for the Biden Administration, then we should not be supporting occupation activities or violations of Palestinian rights and freedoms.” -Wa’el Alzayat, CEO of Emgage Action Emgage Action is a Muslim civic advocacy organization, with national headquarters in Washington, D.C., and state chapters in Michigan, Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and New York. |
