25 House Democrats call for stopping Israel’s crimes against Palestinians

International
A group of 25 House Democrats has urged Secretary of State Antony Blinken to “exert diplomatic pressure” to stop Israel’s efforts to forcibly displace Palestinians in East Jerusalem.
 
“Even our allies must be held accountable for human rights violations,” said US Rep Marc Pocan.
 
The lawmakers point to the demolition of more than 5,000 Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem within the last 50 years, which are “in clear violation” of international laws governing human rights and war crimes, they say, according to the Independent newspaper. 
 
Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez also criticised President Joe Biden’s brief remarks on Wednesday in which he said Israel has a right to defend itself.
 
So far, Israeli occupation forces has killed 72 Palestinians including 14 children.
