Today, Representative Mikie Sherrill (D-11), a Navy veteran and member of the House Armed Services Committee, released the following statement:
“Israel has a right to defend its citizens after the terror attacks by Hamas. This started a new round of fighting that threatens the stability of the region and has already cost thousands of lives. In turn, the war has become an ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza that has threatened access to food, water, medical relief, safe havens and the lives of Palestinian civilians. As Secretary of State Blinken said, ‘[w]e don’t have to choose between defending Israel and aiding Palestinian civilians. We can and must do both.’ It is for this reason I am advocating for a humanitarian pause, which will allow relief to reach civilians and enhance the critical work of obtaining an immediate, unconditional release of all hostages.”
