Following Hamas’ unconscionable atrocities on October 7th, together with our partners, we’ve demanded the release of hostages, worked to defund this terrorist organization, and advocated for the survivors. Now, we have a powerful opportunity to take this battle directly to international courts including the International Criminal Court (ICC).
