Senate Democrats Intensify Opposition to Arms Sales to Israel Amid Gaza Crisis

In a recent series of votes, the U.S. Senate rejected multiple resolutions aimed at blocking a substantial arms deal with Israel valued at $675 million. Despite the failure of these measures, a record number of Democratic Senators participated in attempts to oppose the sales, reflecting increasing dissent within the party regarding U.S. military support for Israel amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Prominent figures, including Senator Bernie Sanders, have vocally criticized Israeli actions and called for a reassessment of military funding, emphasizing the urgent need for humanitarian aid in the region. As the Gaza hunger crisis deepens, lawmakers continue to face pressure to reconcile U.S. arms sales with the escalating situation on the ground.
