In 24 hours, the EU will discuss whether sanctions against Israel clearly remain on the table – and for the first time since the ceasefire, a powerful coalition of Jewish voices has come together, urging world leaders to keep the pressure up until real accountability and freedom are achieved. Their call can help shift the political mood and give leaders courage to act decisively -- amplify their voices and stand with them: Children in Gaza still have no roof over their heads, and little food on their plate. And like peace itself, their hope for the future hangs by a thread. Yet despite this fragile ceasefire, leaders are already moving on - the EU has paused sanction talks even though Israel is still not letting enough aid into Gaza and violated the terms of the ceasefire as recently as this weekend. And so, today, thousands of Jews from across the world - from famous musicians and authors to Oscar-winning filmmakers - are rising together for accountability, sanctions, and an end to the occupation. This wave of Jewish voices reminds us that our shared humanity speaks with one voice: justice is the only path to peace. Let's stand together - and tell our leaders the world will not move on until accountability and liberation are real.
