<p>The Gaza ceasefire, which seemed less than 24 hours ago to offer great promise for ending the violence in Gaza and addressing the underlying causes with diplomacy, has collapsed. [1] <br>
<br>
But the fact that a ceasefire and real diplomacy were so close should give us concrete reasons for hope that escalating public pressure can end the violence and support a diplomatic resolution of the underlying issues, including the Israeli-Egyptian blockade of Gaza. [2]<br>
<br>
<b>Take one or both of these actions to help push for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the blockade:</b></p>

<li><b>Sign and share</b> our petition at MoveOn calling on Secretary of State Kerry to keep pushing for a ceasefire and an end to the blockade:<br>

<li style="margin-top:10px">Starting Saturday at 12 noon eastern US time (11 AM Central, 9 AM Pacific), <b>participate in our daily 15 minute Twitter storm</b> to push for the Cairo talks to conclude with an agreement to end the blockade of Gaza. Go to this page for instructions and sample tweets:<br>

</ol>
<p>Because diplomacy got so close, we now have an even clearer idea how this is going to end. It’s going to end with a ceasefire and talks in Cairo, in which everything will be on the table. So – as we’ve said all along – the key questions are how many people are going to be killed before a ceasefire, and whether the ceasefire will last, and a key determinant of whether the ceasefire will last will be whether it <b>ends the Israeli-Egyptian economic blockade of 1.8 million Palestinians in Gaza.</b> <br>
<br>
That’s why, together with our partners in Gaza’s Ark and the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, we are organizing a daily, 15 minute Twitter storm at 12 noon ET until the Cairo talks conclude with an agreement that ends the blockade. <b>We want to make sure that when the talks start, “end the blockade” is on the top of the international agenda.</b></p>
<ol>
<li><b>Sign and share</b> our petition at MoveOn now. When you sign the petition, it will be automatically delivered to your representatives in Congress. When you share the petition on Twitter, it will automatically be tweeted to Kerry.<br>
