Indivisible Project Co-Executive Director Leah Greenberg on Netanyahu’s Attack on Rafah
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Indivisible’s co-executive director Leah Greenberg issued the following statement on Netanyahu’s assault on Rafah over the weekend:
“When Biden said that invading Rafah would be crossing a red line, it’s because we all knew it would be complete devastation. He also wasn’t alone in his concerns. From the International Court of Justice to every single humanitarian and human rights organization, everyone was raising every possible alarm in the direst terms that an Israeli military assault in Rafah would result in unfathomable civilian suffering.
“Netanyahu cannot write this off as a tragic mistake. Nothing about this was unexpected. Nothing about this is acceptable. The line has been crossed. It’s past time for Biden to firmly stand by his own words, break withNetanyahu, and immediately halt any more US weapons being supplied for this offensive. The killing must stop, and Biden must exert significant diplomatic pressure to secure a ceasefire. Immediately.”
