Dear Senator Schumer and Senator Gillibrand:

We are two organizations of Jewish New Yorkers who write to ask that you take action to enforce provisions of federal law that require the termination of aid to any unit of a foreign military for which there is credible information that the unit has committed a gross violation of human rights. During the recent Israeli operations in Gaza, world leaders, human rights organizations, and journalists have all described actions by units of the Israeli military that would constitute gross violations of human rights. Accordingly, we ask you, as our Senators, to first, initiate Senate hearings that will investigate these reports of human rights violations, and, second, if the hearings demonstrate that U.S. is supporting those units, to seek implementation of the provisions of federal law that provide for termination of that aid.
