"Sanders Urges Congress to Halt US Military Aid to Israel Amid 'Immoral' Conflict"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Guardian US
Senator Bernie Sanders has urged Congress to withhold additional funding to Israel in response to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, criticizing the Israeli military's actions as disproportionate and calling for an end to U.S. complicity in the violence. Despite recognizing Hamas' initial attack, Sanders has been vocal about his opposition to the U.S. financial support for Israel, particularly in light of reported human rights violations. His stance comes as Congress deliberates on a funding package that includes aid to Israel, with previous attempts at similar legislation facing obstacles. Sanders' position reflects a broader debate on the U.S. role in international conflicts and its responsibilities towards human rights.
