Senate Blocks Sanders’ Attempt to Halt Arms Deal

The U.S. Senate overwhelmingly blocked Senator Bernie Sanders’ attempt to halt a $20 billion arms sale to Israel, despite growing concerns over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Sanders argued that continued arms transfers — including bombs and tank rounds — could violate U.S. laws amid rising civilian casualties, now over 43,000 according to Gaza officials.

His resolutions, backed by a few progressive senators, were defeated by wide margins, reflecting strong bipartisan support for Israel. While the proposals failed, they ignited debate over America’s role in foreign conflicts and the oversight of military aid.
