In a recent communication, the NAACP urged President Joe Biden to cease arms shipments to Israel and leverage the United States’ influence to bring an end to the Gaza conflict.
This appeal follows Biden’s announcement on May 31, where he mentioned Israel’s new cease-fire proposal to Hamas, asserting, “It’s time for this war to end and for the day after to begin.” Biden stated that he was presenting a truce proposal from Israel intended for Hamas.
“The most recent statement from the Biden administration is useful but does not go far enough,” NAACP officials commented. “It is one thing to call for a ceasefire; it is another to take the measures necessary to work towards liberation for all. It is imperative that the violence that has claimed so many civilian lives, immediately stop.”
