Struggling civilians in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war must have access to humanitarian aid, hence the need for an immediate pause, says Congressman Ami Bera.
“While I firmly believe Israel has the right to exist and to defend itself, so do innocent Palestinians have a right to a life of peace and dignity” the Democrat from California said in a video message.
“I hope that one day Israelis and Palestinians can live side by side in peace. I don’t know if that is an impossible dream. But I do know it will never be accomplished if innocent Israelis are murdered and innocent Palestinians are killed” he added.
“We need an immediate pause in order to get needed humanitarian aid, food, water, and medicine to struggling civilians. Then we need to find a different path forward”, the influential law maker who is a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee sitting also on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence said.
