Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

The US Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO) has called on the Biden administration to intervene and end the Israeli government's "genocide in Palestine," citing the need for a ceasefire and an end to the blockade of Gaza. USCMO Secretary-General Oussama Jammal stated that the Biden administration's continued support for the Israeli government's actions has been "disastrous, illegal and immoral," and that it is "now or never" for President Biden and Vice President Harris to change course.

Key Takeaways:

  • The USCMO has urged the Biden administration to impose an arms embargo on the Israeli military, as required by US law, to end the genocide in Gaza and the destruction in the Occupied West Bank.
  • The USCMO has stated that the Biden administration's continued support for the Israeli government's actions has led to "brazen war crimes," including the assassination of Shireen Abu Akleh and the genocide in Gaza.
  • The USCMO is calling for a ceasefire that includes the end of the blockade of Gaza, the release of all hostages and political prisoners, and the reconstruction of a Gaza free from occupation.
  • The USCMO has warned that failure to change course will lead to the Israeli government destroying the Occupied West Bank, making a just and peaceful resolution impossible, and dragging the United States into an all-out regional war.
  • The USCMO is citing UN reports that have documented the use of US-supplied weaponry and munitions in illegal Israeli airstrikes, which have killed at least 159 Palestinians in the Occupied West Bank in recent months.
  • The USCMO is calling on the Biden administration to impose a total embargo on Israel of US offensive weapons in compliance with US National Security Memorandum (NSM-20).
