40 Democratic Lawmakers, Including Pelosi, Urge Biden to Halt Arms Transfers to Israel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Washington, 40 Democratic members of Congress, including former House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, have written to President Biden, urging him to
halt new arms transfers to Israel following Israel's killing of seven
aid workers from World Central Kitchen last week. The lawmakers wrote,
"In light of the recent strike against aid workers and the
ever-worsening humanitarian crisis, we believe it is unjustifiable to
approve these weapons transfers."
