Senator Jeff Merkley: U.S. “Complicit in Starvation and Humanitarian Catastrophe“ in Gaza
Support our work:
As over 100 Palestinians are killed by Israeli forces while gathering for food aid in Gaza City, we speak to Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon, who in November became the second of only five U.S. senators to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. In January, he traveled to the Rafah border crossing in Egypt to witness the system of humanitarian aid deliveries, which he described on the Senate floor as a “complicated, bizarre inspection process.“ Merkley is now calling for the U.S. to bypass Israel in order to directly send aid to Gaza. Because of the United States’ relationship to Israel — “more closely tied than any situation in the world“ — Merkley says, “It’s the United States that has leverage to address this situation, and the world expects us to take the lead.“
