    “However, that’s not to say that White House officials or Democratic Party staff have heeded their calls for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, an arms embargo on Israel, and a lifting of the 17-year-old blockade on the Gaza Strip.”

    The White House has absolutely zero control over an immediate and permanent cease fire, or lifting the Gaza blockade, that’s all on Israel to do and they’re not interested.

    We could enact an arms embargo, which would do nothing. Israel would continue producing their own weapons and obtain more from equally “on the outs” nations.
