Global Ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the United Church of Christ is among more than 110 agencies, organizations, and groups that have joined voices to support a set of Joint Resolutions of Disapproval in the Senate to block a sale of $20 billion worth of weapons to Israel.
The letter was sent to members of the US Senate on Tuesday, urging them to support the resolutions which would “suspend particular transfers of types of weapons that the Israeli government has used in strikes that have killed thousands of civilians, including aid workers and journalists, in Gaza over the last year.”
The letter continues, stating “Continued arms transfers to the Israeli government are contrary to U.S. law and the Biden administration’s own arms transfer policy, which include restrictions on arms transfers to any country based on human rights, international humanitarian law, and humanitarian assistance criteria.”
The full letter, with signatories, is below:
