Record number of Democrats join failed bid to block weapons sales to Israel

In response to growing international condemnation of Israel’s war in Gaza, the US Senate turned down a proposal to stop sales of weapons to it.

Even though the Democratic Party’s vote was unsuccessful, the Democratic Party’s vote on Wednesday nonetheless highlighted growing growing opposition to Israel’s war.

Twenty-seven Democrats voted in favor of a resolution to stop Israel’s $ 270 million bombing program, while 24 voted against it.

Republicans who voted were all against.

The US Senate’s resolutions, introduced by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, are by far the closest they have ever been to limiting arms shipments to Israel.

Sanders’ campaign aimed to stop weapons deliveries in April won the support of 15 Democrats, while a similar vote in November won 18 Democrats.

Sanders, an independent, argued prior to the vote that Washington could no longer provide Israel’s “racist government” with weapons intended to kill innocent people.

“Netanyahu is a detestable liar,” he says. According to Sanders, who mentioned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, children are starving to death on X.

Senator for Washington state Patty Murray said she could not support the continued suffering of innocent children in Gaza despite the resolutions being “not perfect” among the lawmakers supporting Sanders’ bid for the first time.

I’ve been a long-time friend and supporter of Israel, and I’m voting yes in a statement to warn the Netanyahu government against using this tactic.

“Netanyahu has continued to rule this country at every turn.” When literally thousands of tons of aid and supplies are just sitting across the border, children and families should not be starving or dying from starvation or disease in Gaza.

The Democratic Party’s support for Israel is waning as a result of the US public’s growing opposition to the war in Gaza.

Americans’ approval of Israel’s military action in Gaza was measured by a Gallup poll on Tuesday, a 10-point decrease from September’s survey that was released on September.
