Bernie Sanders Moves to Block $20 Billion U.S. Arms Sale to Israel

Sanders cites human rights violations and U.S. complicity in Gaza conflict as reasons for the proposed legislation.

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.
