US Senator: Arms sales to Israel must be stopped.
According to Al Jazeera, the United States is the largest arms supplier and political supporter of the Zionist regime in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. This is even though Washington continues to support the regime despite Tel Aviv’s violation of the ceasefire.
Accordingly, Bernie Sanders, a progressive American senator, announced the proposal of two resolutions to stop arms sales to Israel.
The independent senator from Vermont wrote in a statement on the social network X (formerly Twitter): “Using my authority, I will require a vote in the Senate on these resolutions.”
Sanders emphasized in the statement: “Netanyahu has violated American laws and international law in this brutal war. We should not be involved in this massacre.”
The senator’s request comes at a time when the United States has always been Israel’s main supporter in the diplomatic and military fields during the nearly one and a half year war in Gaza and has provided extensive arms aid to the regime.
Sanders’s action could spark heated debates in the US Congress about continuing military support for Israel.
