On November 18, 2019, 26 religious leaders signed a letter to Congress in support of the "Promoting Human Rights for Palestinian Children Living Under Israeli Military Occupation Act" (H.R. 2407), legislation that prohibits any U.S. taxpayer funds from contributing to the military detention, interrogation, abuse, or ill-treatment of children by any country, including Israel.
Their letter is a sign of the growing support for this bill and efforts to hold Israel accountable for its treatment of Palestinian children.
