The U.S. Senate rejected three bills introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders aimed at halting U.S. arms sales to Israel worth approximately $20 billion. These resolutions, introduced in late September 2023, followed the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel and subsequent Israeli military actions in Gaza, which resulted in significant casualties. Sanders argued the U.S. was complicit in international law violations by supporting Israel’s military operations. Despite Sanders’ passionate plea and criticisms of President Biden’s stance, the Senate voted against the resolutions, reflecting strong support for Israel in Congress. Sanders has repeatedly expressed frustration over U.S. involvement and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
