American Jewish Coalition Calls on Israel to Abide by International Law

Members of the Progressive Israel Network (PIN), a coalition of organizations representing Americans who are committed to pursuing democracy, equality and peace in Israel, including Americans for Peace Now and J Street, issued a statement on the crisis in Israel and Gaza expressing support for the Israeli people and urging Israeli authorities who are carrying out military operations in the Gaza Strip to act responsibly and respect international law. Ori Nir, spokesman for Americans for Peace Now, explained to VOA senior analyst Mohamed Elshinnawi what prompted the progressive Jewish organizations to issue that statement.
