The State Department has announced a halt to Gaza visitor visas to the U.S., following a review of the process used to issue temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days. This comes after President Trump refrained from criticizing Israeli leaders’ efforts to ramp up strikes and increase control in Gaza. Several nations and human rights groups have reported persistent starvation among Gazans, urging countries and organizations to aid in food and resource distribution. Germany, France, Canada, and the United Kingdom have halted military exports to Israel, seeking to dismantle prior support for the use of force in the Gaza Strip. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denied reports of starvation and stated that the government’s plans are to overtake parts of the Gaza Strip, which he said are under the control of Hamas. House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) has called for an open heart about how to take action in time to make a difference, whether that is stopping the starvation and genocide and destruction of Gaza or working together to stop the redistricting efforts across the country.
