Overview

  • Sen. Bernie Sanders has introduced a resolution to force a Senate vote on investigating Israel's 'indiscriminate bombing' of Gaza, citing the growing civilian death toll.
  • The resolution, if passed, would require the administration to submit a report on Israel's human rights practices within 30 days, or all security assistance to the country would automatically stop.
  • Sanders has highlighted the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, stating that the suffering is being done with American bombs and money.
  • The conflict in Israel has exposed a divide among Democrats, with some criticizing the Biden administration for not pressuring Israel to commit to a ceasefire.
  • Sanders has urged President Biden to withhold $10.1 billion in military aid to Israel, calling Israel’s military operations in Gaza a 'mass atrocity.'
