I stand in solidarity with the billions of people all around the world who are demanding a cease-fire now. The majority of Americans support de-escalation and a lasting cease- fire, yet the President has threatened to escalate this into a regional war instead of doing anything to stop Netanyahu's genocidal bombing campaign. Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank are being murdered by American weapons funded by our tax dollars. Lebanese national civilians are being killed, and now the Yemeni people are under threat. Prior to the Israeli Government's assault on Gaza, Yemen was facing the worst humanitarian crisis on Earth, with much of the population living on the brink of famine. President Biden was legally required to seek authorization from Congress prior to launching these strikes. He did not do so and, as a result, has violated the United States Constitution. This is completely unacceptable. Many of my colleagues have correctly called out the Biden administration for bypassing Congress. The American people do not want to be dragged into yet another endless war in the Middle East. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Founders' Day
