Congresswoman Lee Reacts to Violence in Israel and Gaza

Washington, DC - In response to the violence in Israel and Gaza, Congresswoman Barbara Lee released this statement:

“I am gravely concerned about the current violence and loss of life in Israel and Gaza; this horrific violence does nothing to enhance the security of Israelis or Palestinians. Only a diplomatic solution can ensure lasting security,” said Congresswoman Barbara Lee. “We need strong diplomatic intervention by the US and regional partners to help establish an immediate ceasefire that allows for the negotiations of a permanent and peaceful settlement.”
