A group of left-wing Israeli organizations sent a letter to US President Joe Biden, asking him to urge Israel to stop military operations in the Gaza Strip and allow aid to be delivered to the residents of the Strip.

The letter, which began by condemning the Hamas attack on the settlements surrounding Gaza on October 7 as part of Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood,” accused Israel of “not obeying American instructions to act in self-defense in accordance with international law and the rules of war.”

According to the Israeli newspaper "Jerusalem Post", "Despite the suggestion that Israel is committing violations of international law, the message continues to say that they do not want to focus on this matter, but rather on their concern about the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza."

The group believed that “Israeli policy has pushed the humanitarian crisis in Gaza to the point of catastrophe - and not just as an inevitable consequence of the war,” stressing that “it is important for Hamas to release the hostages and return them to Israel, and that allowing humanitarian aid to enter Gaza is not a gesture of good faith from On the side of Israel, it is one of its obligations.”

It pointed out that "under international humanitarian law, civilian populations in armed conflict who do not have the resources necessary to survive on available means must be provided with resources by the warring parties."

The letter was signed by Academia for Equality, the Akivot Institute, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories (B'Tselem), Bimkom, Breaking the Silence, Combatants for Peace, Maslak Association, HaMoked Activists in the Jordan Valley, Consider Occupation Eyes, Mahsum Watch, Parents Against Child Detention, PWG Psychoactive.
