Trump’s Horrific Vision for Gaza
We call on US and world leaders to reject these unacceptable proposals—outright. They violate U.S. law, international law, and our core values, posing a grave danger to us all.
J Street organizes pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans to promote US policies that embody our deeply held Jewish and democratic values and that help secure the State of Israel as a democratic homeland for the Jewish people. We believe that only a negotiated resolution agreed to by Israelis and Palestinians can meet the legitimate needs and national aspirations of both peoples.
Working in the American political system, in the Jewish community and with others with whom we share core values, we advocate for diplomacy-first American leadership and policies that advance justice, equality, peace, and democracy in Israel, in the wider region and in the United States as well.
We cannot be silent as the President suggests forcing millions of civilians from their homes and suffering more than they’ve already been made to.

The challenge for all of us in opposition is to be strategic about where and when we fight.
We must ensure that the long-overdue ceasefire and hostage release agreement that we warmly welcome as it goes into effect today, holds and is built upon.
We welcome the ceasefire and hostage deal, with much work yet to be done to ensure the war ends and all hostages are returned safely.
