Pointing out that tens of thousands of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are facing malnutrition and hunger, he added: The amount of aid that has reached Gaza is at its lowest level since the beginning of the Israeli army’s invasion of this region, while blocking the entry of humanitarian aid violates the humanitarian aid law and the Geneva Convention.
This American senator stated that the United States cannot continue to participate in this barbaric war by providing more military aid to Netanyahu’s cabinet, emphasizing that the American Congress should act to prevent the sale of more weapons to Tel Aviv.
A group of Democratic representatives of the US Congress previously rejected US President Joe Biden’s claim that the Zionist regime does not violate international laws and emphasized that Israel violates the laws with American weapons.
Earlier, 40 Democratic lawmakers of the US Congress asked US President Joe Biden to stop arms sales to the Zionist regime.
These 40 members of the US Congress, including Nancy Pelosi, the former speaker of the US House of Representatives, asked Biden in a letter to stop the sale of weapons to the Zionist regime and make Washington’s aid to this regime conditional.
The Zionist regime has started a devastating war against the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023. During this period, a large number of houses and infrastructures in the Gaza Strip have been severely destroyed in this war, and the miserable siege and severe humanitarian crisis, along with unprecedented famine and hunger, threaten the lives of the residents of this area.
Despite all these crimes, the Zionist regime has admitted that after about 14 months of war, it has not yet been able to achieve its goals of this war, which is to destroy the Hamas movement and return the Zionist prisoners from the Gaza Strip.
