Sanders Calls for Rejection of U.S. Military Aid for Israel's Gaza War

Over 22,300 Killed in Gaza, Fears of Conflict Spreading After Top Hamas Leader Killed

Sen. Bernie Sanders has called on Congress to reject the Biden administration's request for billions in military aid for Israel, describing it as 'unconditional military aid' for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government to continue with their war in Gaza.
The war has so far killed over 22,300 people in Gaza, according to local officials, and displaced 85% of the territory’s population.
Sanders noted that while Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Southern Israel initiated the current conflict, Israel’s war has led to 'catastrophic' results on the ground for Palestinians.
Sanders has also introduced a resolution to investigate Israel’s indiscriminate bombing in Gaza.
Israel is thought to be behind a blast in Beirut that killed Saleh Arouri, a top Hamas political leader, prompting fears that the conflict could spread across the region.
