NAACP Urges Biden to Halt Weapons Deliveries to Israel Amidst Ongoing Conflict with Hamas

The NAACP, a prominent civil rights organization in the United States, has called on President Joe Biden to halt all weapons deliveries to Israel amidst the ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza. The organization's president, Derrick Johnson, stated that the U.S. must use its influence with Israel to bring about a permanent ceasefire and return hostages held by Hamas.

The NAACP's call for action comes as tensions between Israel and Hamas continue to escalate, resulting in civilian casualties on both sides. The organization has also urged the U.S. government to adhere to international laws and humanitarian principles in resolving the conflict.

Israel has faced accusations at the International Court of Justice for alleged violations of international law, including genocide convention, which Israel denies.

The NAACP's statement follows a growing trend among civil society organizations and activists calling for an end to weapons transfers to Israel. The Palestinian community network (USPCN) and individuals such as Hatem Abudayyeh and Amer Zahr have also urged the U.S. government to take action.

The NAACP's call on President Biden marks a significant intervention in U.S. foreign policy by a major civil rights organization, highlighting the importance of addressing civilian casualties and promoting peace in the Middle East.
