The U.S. chose not to cast a vote on the measure, ultimately leading to its passage \u2014 a decision that prompted Netanyahu to cancel a scheduled visit to the U.S.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. has previously vetoed similar resolutions calling for a ceasefire.

It is wholly unrealistic to expect Israel to consent to a ceasefire unless it can reassure its citizens that its enemies are no longer a genuine threat,\u201d the letter states. \u201cThis ceasefire represents nothing more than an extension of the Biden Administration\u2019s failed appeasement tactics in the region, further emboldening Hamas and its allies to resume its horrible attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>At least 11 other House Republicans signed on to the letter, including Reps.
