Senator Bernie Sanders filed resolutions to prohibit nearly $660 million in U.S. arms sales to Israel amid ongoing conflicts.
Quiver AI Summary
Senator Sanders files resolutions against arms sales: Senator Bernie Sanders today introduced three Joint Resolutions of Disapproval aimed at blocking nearly $658.8 million in U.S. weapon sales to Israel. The resolutions have garnered support from Senators Chris Van Hollen, Jeff Merkley, and Peter Welch, who cite concerns over the impact of these arms on civilian casualties.
Contentions surrounding military actions: Sanders criticized the sales in light of ongoing conflicts, stating, "No more weapons to support an illegal war." The resolutions come after the Trump administration’s notification to sell over 20,000 bombs, which the senators argue lead to high civilian casualties and violate U.S. foreign policy guidelines.
Next legislative steps: The Foreign Assistance Act stipulates that arms transfers align with human rights and foreign policy interests. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has ten calendar days to consider the resolutions before they can be brought to the Senate floor for a vote, which requires a simple majority to pass.
