Jewish groups have urged the United States to stop arming the Israeli occupation as its aggression increases in the West Bank and its genocidal campaign of aggression continues in Gaza.
The Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), a US-based advocacy organization, posted on X Wednesday that Washington has long "facilitated Israel's genocidal violence" against Palestinians and that the supply of US weaponry to the occupation must be halted immediately.
"From Gaza to the occupied West Bank, genocidal violence against Palestinians is allowed, permitted, and facilitated" by both the Israeli government and the United States, according to the JVP.

Citing Washington's unwavering backing for the genocidal onslaught in the Gaza Strip, the group called for a global landscape free of Zionism and colonialism, reiterating its call to the US government to suspend weaponry supplies to the Israeli military.
"This massive and coordinated invasion is a direct result of our government's continual enabling and co-signing of the Israeli ... genocidal actions across all of occupied Palestine," the organization stated.
JVP explained that the latest attacks represent a substantial increase in violence across the occupied West Bank, while Israeli settlers are working with Israeli occupation forces to quickly usurp additional land for their illegal settlements across the occupied West Bank.
"With the US as its collaborator, the Israeli military and settlers are carrying out the goal of Zionism: maximum land with minimum Palestinians, meaning the complete and total ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their land," the statement read.
In its latest extensive aggression against cities and towns in the northern occupied West Bank, the Israeli occupation targeted Jenin and Tulkarm. This assault resulted in the death of at least 17 Palestinians, according to an unofficial toll, and left dozens injured.
Israeli media, citing sources within the occupation army, reported that "the military operation in the West Bank is the largest in 22 years," involving extensive ground forces, supported by airstrikes and raids from Israeli drones and helicopters.
More than 670 Palestinians, including 150 children, have been killed in the West Bank and occupied al-Quds since October 7, according to CNN, which noted that this represents the highest death toll in 15 years.
Palestinian Resistance in West Bank will surprise 'Israel': Hamas
The Palestinian Resistance did not participate in the latest negotiations, which included dangerous proposals aimed at controlling the entire Gaza Strip and finding an alternative to the Resistance, confirmed Hamas representative in Lebanon, Ahmad Abdel Hadi on Tuesday.
Regarding developments in the West Bank, Abdel Hadi told Al Mayadeen that the Israeli occupation government is systematically working to eliminate the Palestinian presence there.
The Israeli military launched a large-scale offensive targeting Resistance fighters in Jenin and Tulkarm, marking the most extensive military action since Operation "Defensive Shield" in 2002. The Israeli Army radio confirmed that this operation involves both air force and ground troops.
In response, Palestinian Resistance factions have declared Operation Terror of the Camps as they confront the wide-ranging Israeli assaults, continuing their operations and confrontations across northern West Bank areas.
