U.S. Senate to Vote on Blocking $20 Billion Arms Sale to Israel

The proposed resolution challenges U.S. military support for Israel over humanitarian concerns in Gaza.

Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to halt a $20 billion arms deal with Israel.
The resolution is unlikely to pass due to strong bipartisan support for Israel, but aims to pressure the Biden administration.
Critics argue Israel has not met U.S. demands to improve humanitarian aid access in Gaza, despite a recent U.S. assessment.
More than 110 advocacy groups support the resolution, citing Israel's alleged violations of international law and humanitarian standards.
Pro-Israel groups, including AIPAC, are lobbying against the resolution, emphasizing Israel's security needs.
