"Senate Rejects Sanders' Bid to Tie Israeli Aid to Human Rights, Sending Stern Message to Biden"

TL;DR Summary
The US Senate overwhelmingly rejected a resolution proposed by Senator Bernie Sanders to impose conditions on security assistance to Israel, which would have frozen aid unless a report on potential human rights violations was produced. Despite growing concern among some Democrats over US weapons supply to Israel, the resolution was defeated, with 72 senators voting against it. The White House opposed the resolution, stating it was "unworkable" as the Biden administration seeks to transition from Israel and ensure support at home and abroad.
