Senate Blocks Sanders' Effort to Halt Israel Arms Sales Amid Democratic Divide

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders' attempt to block arms sales to Israel failed in the Senate, with his resolutions receiving limited support. Sanders argued that Israel's actions in Gaza violated international human rights laws, and that U.S. law prohibits providing weapons to such nations. Despite his efforts, the resolutions were largely symbolic, facing strong opposition and unlikely to pass the Republican-controlled House or be approved by President Biden. Sanders criticized the humanitarian impact in Gaza, highlighting the U.S.'s significant military aid to Israel.
