"Sanders Urges Biden to Condition Aid to Israel, Citing Violation of U.S. Law"

A group of Democratic senators, led by Senator Bernie Sanders, urged President Biden to halt the provision of offensive weapons to Israel until it lifts restrictions on U.S.-backed humanitarian aid entering Gaza. They argued that by continuing to arm Israel, Biden was violating the Foreign Assistance Act, which prohibits military support to any nation that restricts the delivery of humanitarian aid. The senators emphasized that failure to expand humanitarian access and facilitate safe aid deliveries throughout Gaza would lead to serious consequences as specified under existing U.S. law.
