Myths and facts about Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.

Responding to myths and facts about Israel and AIPAC.

Israel is taking significant actions to improve the serious humanitarian challenges in Gaza, working with international partners to bring more food, aid, and water to the people of Gaza. Despite the improving situation, the U.N.-affiliated Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) released an analysis that ignored key facts, relied on Hamas’ information, and altered the IPC’s own standards to conclude that there is a ‘famine’ in Gaza City.

On Monday, June 23, President Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. The importance of the 12-day war cannot be overstated. Israel and the United States eliminated the capability Iran had to produce nuclear weapons.

Israel launched a military operation to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and to attack its increasingly dangerous ballistic missile arsenal. This operation came after the IAEA officially declared Iran was not in compliance with its non-proliferation obligations and the regime ignored President Trump’s 60-day deadline to reach a peaceful agreement to resolve the nuclear issue.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for Palestinians has long been criticized for perpetuating the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and inciting violence against Israel. Highly credible Israeli intelligence has exposed just how deep UNRWA’s ties to terrorism are.

A ceasefire agreement went into effect on November 27 to end hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah that the Iranian-backed terror group initiated on October 8, 2023. Hezbollah has already violated the ceasefire numerous times.

AIPAC is leading the political fight to keep Congress pro-Israel and working with pro-Israel leaders in Washington to advance critical policies to help keep Israel safe.

Over the past year, Israel has effectively defended itself against simultaneous and sustained attacks from Iran and its proxies, thanks to Israel's Qualitative Military Edge (QME). Efforts to block arms sales to Israel undermine our ally’s QME, increase the risk of attacks against our ally, and undermine American interests.

Israel is on the frontlines against a global threat to America’s interests and values — Iran and its terrorist proxies who seek to destroy both the Jewish state and the United States.
