Washington, April 30 (RHC)-- Politico is reporting a group of lawyers, including 20 that work in the Biden administration, are calling on the president to halt military aid to Israel. 

In an open letter, the attorneys write: “The law is clear and aligned with the majority of Americans who believe the U.S. should cease arms shipments to Israel until it stops its military operation in Gaza.” 

The letter also urges the Justice Department to investigate whether war crimes charges could be brought against U.S. citizens serving in the Israeli military.

Amnesty International is also calling on President Biden to halt arms sales to Israel.  In a new report, Amnesty documents how Israel has used U.S.-supplied weapons to kill Palestinian civilians.
