American human rights organizations have called on Congress members to intervene urgently and press for an end to U.S. military support for Israeli occupation, Shehab Wire reported. The demand follows circulation of footage documenting a Palestinian woman burned inside her home in Gaza City.
The groups' appeal came as advocacy organizations intensified calls to condition or cut American military assistance to Israel during the conflict in Gaza.
