Nearly 50 US lawmakers call on Trump to address Israeli Gaza ceasefire violations

Nearly 50 Democratic members of the U.S. Congress called on President Donald Trump to address alleged Israeli ceasefire violations in Gaza. The lawmakers urged the administration to use U.S. assistance as leverage to pressure Israel into complying with the terms of a truce brokered in October. In a letter, they cited Israel's bombardment of civilians, destruction of property, and insufficient delivery of humanitarian aid as actions jeopardizing the fragile agreement. The letter also noted that Israel's response to Hamas violations has been disproportionate, resulting in over 400 Palestinian deaths and a deepening humanitarian crisis.
