JAKARTA - Supporters urged Washington to stop sending weapons to Israel after the attack killed more than 100 Palestinians in Gaza City.

Israel's deadly attack on a school in Gaza has renewed calls for the United States to stop providing strong support to Israel, including the transfer of weapons that human rights advocates say sparked atrocities in the Palestinian enclave.

Gaza's civil defense agency said more than 100 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured on Saturday when Israel launched an attack on an al-Tabin school in Gaza City.

The US & ally claims the ceasefire is imminent. But what Palestinians see is only more deaths, dislocations, and despairs. Genocide continues, "wrote James Zogby, co-founder and president of the Arab American Institute, on social media.

"It's time to end this play. Israel doesn't want peace or a ceasefire. Why are we still sending weapons to Israel?"

Pada Sabtu pagi, jurnalis CNN Allegramen mengatakan dalam sebuah posting di X bahwa jaringan berita AS telah mengonfirmasi bahwa "bom situasi kecil GBU-39 buatan AS" digunakan dalam serangan mematikan Israel di sekolah al-Tabin. Al Jazeera tidak dapat segera memverifikasi laporan tersebut.

The attack comes as US President Joe Biden has faced months of public pressure to halt arms supplies to Israel amid his war in Gaza, which has killed more than 39,700 Palestinians since early October.

Israel receives at least $3.8 billion in US military aid every year, and Biden signed $14 billion in additional aid to the US ally earlier this year.
