AFL-CIO calls for a cease fire

https://aflcio.org/press/releases/afl-cio-statement-situation-israel-and-gaza

(Washington, D.C., Feb. 8, 2024)—“The AFL-CIO condemns the attacks by Hamas on October 7th and calls for a negotiated cease-fire in Gaza—including the immediate release of all hostages and provision of desperately needed shelter, food, medicine and other humanitarian assistance to Gazans—and reaffirms our support of a two-state solution for long-term peace and security.”
