Statement from Congressman Danny K. Davis on the Gaza Conflict

March 5, 2024

As the situation in Gaza continues to escalate, I am deeply concerned about the devastating impact on civilians and the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire. The loss of innocent lives and the destruction of homes and infrastructure is tragic and unacceptable.

I join the international community in calling for all parties involved to exercise restraint and work towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict. It is imperative that every effort is made to protect civilian lives and ensure access to essential humanitarian assistance for those in need.

I urge all sides to engage in meaningful dialogue and diplomacy to de-escalate tensions and bring an end to the violence. The cycle of conflict and suffering in Gaza must come to an end, and the path to lasting peace and stability can only be achieved through negotiation and mutual respect for human rights.

I reaffirm my commitment to working towards a just and lasting peace in the region.
