US Congress Takes Aim at Funding for Netanyahu Government and UN Gaza Aid
TL;DR Summary
Senator Bernie Sanders voted against the US government appropriations bill, criticizing its prohibition of funding to the UN aid agency in Gaza and the provision of $3.3 billion in military aid to Netanyahu's government. Sanders argued that this aid would only intensify the situation in Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children face starvation. President Biden later signed the $1.2 trillion government funding bill into law to prevent a government shutdown.
