Seventy-seven House Democrats call for an arms embargo on Israel, citing human rights concerns.

Seventy-seven House Democrats, or 40% of the caucus, have called for an arms embargo on Israel, citing human rights concerns. This move has sparked debate within the Democratic Party, with critics arguing it supports Hamas and undermines Israel's right to self-defense. The letter, backed by the left-leaning J Street group, does not explicitly request halting aid but references laws that could lead to an embargo if Israel is found to be blocking humanitarian aid.
