Today, I heard from Israeli and Palestinian citizens about their efforts to co-create a safe, just, and shared future for their people. The U.S. government must be a partner in those efforts—not a yes-man to Netanyahu’s attempts to sabotage them.

Today, I met with Adnaan and Tor Stumo, my constituents, who risked their lives to deliver aid to the people of Gaza. The US should have done more to keep them safe.
But now, we have another chance to heed their calls: surge aid into Gaza and provide desperately needed relief.

After two horrific years, it’s welcome news that we may finally see a reprieve from the violence & genocide in Gaza.
This could be the start of healing. But only if there is accountability to ensure real steps are taken toward just and lasting peace.
