US Senator Bernie Sanders has called for “no more US military aid to Israel” in light of the situation in the West Bank.
“Elchi” reports that the independent senator from Vermont targeted US military aid to Israel in a post on his social media account on X.
Noting that public attention is focused on Gaza, Iran, and Lebanon, Sanders pointed out the deteriorating situation in the West Bank and said: “It is not just Gaza, Iran, and Lebanon. In the West Bank, since October 2023, Israeli soldiers and settlers have killed 1,071 Palestinians, destroyed over 6,000 homes, and established over 200 illegal outposts. No more US military aid to Israel.” In January, Senator Sanders introduced a joint resolution of disapproval aimed at blocking the sale of approximately $660 million worth of bombs to Israel; the resolution was rejected in the Republican-majority Senate. Notably, Democratic members of Congress are working to halt US arms supplies to Israel and avoid complicity in Israel’s military operations.
