25 House Democrats signed a letter urging U.S. Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, to publicly condemn the forced evictions of Palestinians from their homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of Jerusalem. The letter was initiated by Illinois Deputy, Marie Newman, and Michigan Representative, Mark Buchan. In the letter, members of Congress opposed the Israeli demolitions of Palestinian homes, and urged the US government to “send observers to document the forced Israeli displacement of Palestinians, including details of the military units participating in these operations and the use of any US weapons for oversight and accountability purposes regarding violations of the Lehigh Act and the Arms Export Control Act.” For further details, click here
