We face a concerning development in Israel. Yesterday, President Joe Biden warned that the US may halt weapons shipments to Israel as the IDF embarks on a major operation against Hamas in Rafah. Following this warning, the US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin informed the Senate Appropriations Committee that the US had already paused a shipment of payload munitions to Israel, citing concerns directly related to the situation in Rafah. This cutback in support from the US, our historically steadfast ally poses a great challenge at a critical time. The US has been a key supplier of military aid to Israel, and a reduction in this support benefits Hamas and other enemies looking to destroy Israel. Now, more than ever, it is crucial to support Israel directly by aiding organizations that work tirelessly on the ground. Zaka Tel-Aviv is committed to providing essential emergency services and support to the people of Israel during these challenging times. Your support enables us to continue our vital work, ensuring that we remain prepared and resilient in the face of adversity. |
