U S Senate Rejects Senator Bernie Sanders Effort to Block $20 Billion Arms Sale to Israel

The U.S. Senate has rejected Senator Bernie Sanders’ resolution to block a $20 billion arms sale to Israel, reaffirming the longstanding bipartisan commitment to military aid and defense cooperation between the two nations.

Sanders, a vocal advocate for human rights, introduced the resolution in response to the rising civilian death toll in Gaza amid Israeli airstrikes targeting Hamas militants. Reports indicate that thousands of Palestinian civilians, including women and children, have been killed or displaced in the ongoing conflict.

Despite his strong opposition to Israel’s military policies, Sanders’ measure faced overwhelming resistance in the Senate, highlighting the deep-rooted alliance between the U.S. and Israel. The rejection of his resolution underscores Washington’s continued support for Israel’s security needs, even as international concerns over civilian casualties in Gaza continue to mount.
