Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt., said he has 'grave concerns' about Israel's looming ground invasion that he warns would 'further exacerbate the dire conditions' of Palestinians in Gaza.
Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt., said Monday he has 'grave concerns' about Israel's potential ground invasion into Gaza amid an ongoing war prompted by Hamas' terror attack on the Jewish State.
Last week, Welch and fellow Democrat Sens. Brian Schatz, of Hawaii, and Chris Van Hollen, of Maryland, wrote a letter to Biden urging that 'every effort be made to avoid civilian harm and to allow access to humanitarian aid for those in need,' including restoring access to food, electricity, water, fuel and medicine to civilians in Gaza and establishing a humanitarian corridor to allow aid into Gaza and safe passage for U.S. citizens who wish to evacuate the region.
President Biden and five other Western leaders said in a joint statement Sunday that they 'welcomed the announcement of the first humanitarian convoys to reach Palestinians in need in Gaza and committed to continue coordinating with partners in the region to ensure sustained and safe access to food, water, medical care, and other assistance required to meet humanitarian needs.'
