EXCLU: 60 House Dems want Biden to do more to challenge Israeli calls to expel Palestinians from Gaza
-Letter highlights Biden asking Congress for $ for Gazans fleeing to other countries
-Comes amid growing congressional resistance to Biden's Israel policy

The bid is led by Ayanna Pressley + Rep. Jamie Raskin. Pressley told me via email 'indiscriminate bombing' by Israel-enabled by the US-has caused displacement that cannot become 'permanent.'

Letter notes Biden's own pledges to equal rights + dignity for Isr + Pals living side by side.

Context:
-More than 20% of Senate Dems this week backed a bid for a State Dept report on Isr human rights practices
-I revealed yesterday House Dems are working on a letter seeking the resignation of hugely powerful Biden Middle East advisor Brett McGurk

And I just got a statement saying 18 Dems are now backing an amendment to supplemental aid for Isr + Ukr requiring that any additional assistance is used in line with US & international humanitarian law.

Significant momentum on the Hill given Biden's resistance to change course.

Here's the full Pressley-Raskin letter with partial list of signatories (can only post so many images per tweet, more in next one).

Notable: Jayapal, Jacobs, Connolly.
