In response to Vice President Kamala Harris's call for a six-week "immediate ceasefire" in Gaza, IfNotNow national spokesperson Eva Borgwardt released the following statement:

“Vice President Harris’s push for a temporary ceasefire, or what the administration used to call a humanitarian pause, is half a step forward. It makes the ongoing weapons transfers to Israel that much more indefensible. True peace requires the Biden-Harris administration to halt weapons transfers, demand Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza alongside a full hostage exchange, and lay out a timetable for Israel to end its apartheid rule over Palestinians.”
