Sample Letter

Dear Representative ………………………………………

Regards,

Due to the escalation of Israeli aggression on Gaza, and after 18 months of siege imposed on 1.5 million Palestinians, I write to you as my district representative to intervene through all possible means available to you to stop this aggression, and to contribute to an Arab stand supportive of the Palestinians in Gaza.

I reject, as a Lebanese citizen, the complicity of the Arab States, and in particular the Egyptian authorities, with this aggression and I ask you to :

- Demand from the Arab Republic of Egypt, through the embassy in Lebanon, to permanently open the Rafah crossing, and to provide assistance to the Palestinians in Gaza, and to request from the Foreign Minister of Lebanon and other Lebanese officials to express these positions in Arab meetings.

- To pursue all international means to pressure Israel to cease its aggression on Gaza and to hold all those responsible legally accountable.

With my trust that you will use all means possible to express the desires of the Lebanese citizens you represent
