Last update: 24 Dec 2025 14:18 ETNearly 50 Democratic members of Congress called on US President Donald Trump to address Israeli ceasefire violations in Gaza and to withhold US assistance if attacks continue.
The letter said Israel's "bombardment against civilians, destruction of property and insufficient delivery of humanitarian aid" were jeopardising the ceasefire that the US, Egypt and Qatar brokered in October.
"It's imperative that we hold the Israeli government accountable for its actions," 49 Democratic members of the House of Representatives said.
The letter was spearheaded by Representatives Mark Pocan and Madeleine Dean. It was also endorsed by the Jewish advocacy groups J Street, the New Jewish Narrative and Win Without War.
