Israeli occupation forces attacked, injured, and arrested hundreds of worshippers during prayer

Breaking News: Israeli occupation forces attacked, arrested, and forcefully evicted hundreds of Palestinian worshippers from Al-Aqsa Mosque during prayers early on Wednesday, leading to numerous injuries and arrests. Startling footage has shown Israeli occupation forces beating Palestinians with batons inside the worship place. These acts of violence violate international human rights law, and happening during the holy month of Ramadan against peaceful worshippers is egregious. It outwardly disregards pleas by the Biden administration to respect the status quo and demands an immediate response from the U.S. government.

The status quo agreements stipulate that only Muslims have the right to pray in the Al-Aqsa mosque free of Israel’s interference. Under the status quo arrangements, Jordan is the only party authorized to regulate and supervise the affairs of the Noble Sanctuary compound.

Urge your Members of Congress to condemn these attacks, request an immediate suspension of U.S. military aid to Israel pending investigation, and call on the Biden administration to ensure that no U.S. weapons are used in these violations.

The Foreign Assistance Act and Leahy Law prohibit the U.S. government from aiding gross human rights violations. It's crucial that we follow these laws and hold Israel accountable for their actions. Fill out the form below to email your Members of Congress.

The time to stand up for human rights and justice is NOW! By contacting your Members of Congress and the State Department, you are helping to build momentum for positive change and urging them to take a stand for justice, human rights, and peace in the region.

We just need few pieces of information to connect you with your representatives.

I'd like to receive updates from this organization

Email your Representative to issue public statements condemning recent Israeli attacks, request an immediate suspension of U.S. military aid to Israel

Subject: Israeli occupation forces attacked, injured and arrested hundreds of worshippers during prayer

Message:

Dear Member of Congress, As a constituent and supporter of AJP Action, I urge you to issue an immediate public statement condemning the recent Israeli attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Early Wednesday morning, Israeli forces attacked, arrested, and forcefully evicted hundreds of Palestinian worshippers from Al-Aqsa Mosque during prayers, leading to numerous injuries and arrests. Startling footage has shown Israeli officers beating Palestinians with batons inside the worship place. These acts of violence are unacceptable all year round but are especially egregious when they happen during the holy month of Ramadan against peaceful worshippers. I also ask that you request an immediate suspension of U.S. military aid to Israel pending an investigation to ensure that no U.S. weapons were used in these violations, in accordance with the Foreign Assistance Act and Leahy Law. As your constituent, I am deeply concerned about the ongoing human rights violations and violence against Palestinian civilians in the region and the lack of accountability towards Israel. As a nation committed to upholding human rights and the rule of law, the United States is responsible for acting when “allies” engage in actions that contravene these principles. In addition to issuing a public statement and requesting the suspension of military aid, I ask that you call on the Biden administration to ensure that no U.S. weapons are used in these violations and to abide by the Foreign Assistance Act and Leahy Law, which prohibit the U.S. government from aiding gross human rights violations. Furthermore, I encourage you to contact the State Department and demand that Secretary Blinken condemn Israel's attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque and launch an immediate investigation to determine if U.S. weapons were used in this violent act in violation of the Foreign Assistance Act and Leahy Law. The United States must stand up for human rights, justice, and peace in the region. Your constituents are watching, and we expect you to take a firm stance against these violations and to hold Israel accountable for their actions. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your public statement and actions in response to these disturbing events Sincerely,
