Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN), a nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC, has urged President Joe Biden’s administration to stop hindering a United Nations Security Council resolution mandating a ceasefire in the yearlong war on Gaza, according to Al Jazeera.

In a statement, Sarah Leah Whitson, DAWN’s executive director, said the Biden administration’s policies have not only failed to secure a ceasefire to protect civilians but have aided and abetted “Israel’s belligerence such that we now face the likely prospect of Israel dragging us into a war with Iran.”

The group said that the US should end its support for Israel’s war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza by suspending arms transfers to Israel and ending combat operations that “have made the US a party to Israel’s conflict, inviting retaliatory attacks on US forces and risking an even broader regional war with Iran.”

“The only way to prevent a full-scale war in the region is declaring an immediate arms embargo on Israel and imposing a ceasefire in Gaza, with sanctions for non-compliance,” said Raed Jarrar, DAWN’s advocacy director. “Without a ceasefire in Gaza, there won’t be a de-escalation with Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, or Iran.”
