The Obama Administration and Congress should use all means at their disposal to end the war and lift the economic blockade in Gaza. The U.S., Israel, and Egypt should trade a permanent end to rockets and other attacks from Gaza for a permanent end to Israeli and Egyptian restrictions on Gaza’s economy and on the movement of Palestinians into and out of Gaza.

Tell Secretary of State John Kerry to keep pushing for a lasting ceasefire between Israel and Gaza that ends the blockade of Gaza.
