Multiple Democratic Senators say that they have met with Muslim-American advocates amid the carnage in Gaza that came to a halt in the recent pause in violence in exchange for the release of some of the Israeli hostages kidnapped in the 7 October attack.
The US Senate has so far been much slower than the US House of Representatives in endorsing an outright ceasefire ever since the attack on Israel wherein Hamas killed 1,200 people and took around 240 hostages. Last week, Israel and Gaza began a humanitarian pause that allowed for the exchange of hostages and the delivery of resources to Gaza.
