Overview

• Senator Bernie Sanders announced plans to introduce resolutions to block the Biden administration's $20 billion weapons sale to Israel.
• Sanders argues that the arms sale violates U.S. and international laws due to Israel's alleged war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank.
• The proposed sale includes missile systems, tank rounds, fighter jets, and other military equipment.
• Sanders's resolutions aim to enforce U.S. laws that prohibit arms transfers to units committing human rights abuses.
• The announcement coincides with the UN General Assembly's resolution calling for an end to Israel's occupation of Palestine and an arms embargo.
