A group of prominent progressive US lawmakers introduced a resolution on Monday calling for a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Hamas that has resulted in a death toll in the thousands, as fears grow the war could spiral into a wider regional conflict.
The two-page resolution, brought by 13 Democratic members of Congress, urges the Biden administration to “immediately call for and facilitate de-escalation and a ceasefire to urgently end the current violence” as well as to “promptly send and facilitate the entry of humanitarian assistance into Gaza”.
