"Senators Call for Biden to Halt Arms Sales Amid Israel Aid Debate"

TL;DR Summary
A group of U.S. senators, including Bernie Sanders, insists that under U.S. law, the Biden administration must halt military aid to Israel unless it stops impeding aid deliveries to Gaza. They argue that Israel's actions violate the Foreign Assistance Act and urge Biden to enforce consequences. Despite admitting Israeli obstruction, the Biden administration has approved over 100 weapons sales to Israel since October. The senators' letter comes after reports of Israel turning away humanitarian aid, and pressure is mounting for the U.S. to use its leverage to address the crisis in Gaza.
