"Democratic Leaders Push for Halt to US Weapon Transfers to Israel"

House Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, have written a letter to President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken demanding a halt to weapon transfers to Israel following an Israeli airstrike that killed seven aid workers in Gaza. The lawmakers urge for a full investigation into the airstrike and call for withholding offensive arms transfers until those responsible are held accountable. They also emphasize the need to ensure that any future military assistance to Israel is subject to conditions to ensure compliance with U.S. and international law. Biden's administration has been criticized for not supporting his condemnation of the killings with actionable policy.
