Ask your Rep to Press Against the Blockade of Gaza

Connect with Just Foreign Policy on

This week, two “dear colleague” letters on the Gaza siege are making the rounds in the House. Both letters call on the Obama Administration to press Israel to ease its blockade of Gaza.

The McDermott/Ellison letter calls on President Obama to press for an easing of the Israeli blockade of Gaza by making it easier for Palestinians to leave Gaza and improving their access to necessities such as clean water, food, fuel and medicine. The Moran/Inglis letter calls on Secretary of State Clinton to put pressure on the Israeli government to allow Gazan students to travel to study at West Bank universities.

Would you ask your Representative to take action against the siege by signing each of these letters?
