The number of signatories to the demand to stop arms exports to Israel increased to 40 in the US Congress
The number of members of the US Congress who signed a letter addressed to President Joe Biden demanding that he stop arms exports to Israel rose to 40 names, in a very eye-catching step that sparked controversy.
The letter document was planted with the aim of collecting more signatures on groups of members of Congress and entered into the official system.
Only 3 members of Congress had proposed the text of the letter 4 days ago.
The most important surprise was that former Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, signed the letter, knowing that she is a traditional ally of Israel.
The letter is presented for signature, and the presence of Pelosi among the signatories gave it a special momentum, especially since it demands a suspension of the export of weapons to Israel and an evaluation of whether these weapons are being used in accordance with the standards of US laws.
