Democratic Leaders Push for Halt to U.S. Arms Sales to Israel
TL;DR Summary
Congressional Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, are pressuring President Biden to halt weapons transfers to Israel in response to the Gaza war and humanitarian crisis. Senators Bernie Sanders, Chris Van Hollen, and Elizabeth Warren are among those calling for a suspension of military aid to Israel until it meets humanitarian benchmarks and facilitates the flow of provisions into Gaza. The Biden administration, traditionally supportive of Israel, recently abstained from a UN vote demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and has now called for an immediate ceasefire.
