Senate Blocks Sanders' Bid to Halt US Arms Sales to Israel
TL;DR Summary
The Senate rejected an effort led by Senator Bernie Sanders to block US arms sales to Israel, highlighting bipartisan support for military assistance to Israel despite criticism over civilian casualties in Gaza. The resolutions aimed to halt sales of tank rounds, mortar rounds, and JDAMS, but failed to pass. Sanders criticized the US's role in the conflict, while the White House and Senate GOP opposed the resolutions. The votes reflect ongoing debate within the Democratic Party and mark a shift in some Democrats' stance on US-Israel relations.
