US Senate LIVE: Senate Votes To Block the Sale Of Heavy Bombs To Israel Bernie Sanders LIVE N18G
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders is forcing votes next week on resolutions that would block $8.8 billion in arms sales to Israel, citing the human rights crisis faced by Palestinians in Gaza after Israel's bombardment of the enclave and its suspension of aid deliveries.
(Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu has clearly violated U.S. and international law in this brutal war, and we must end our complicity in the carnage," Sanders, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, said in a statement announcing his plan.
