"Dem Senator Accuses Israeli Leadership of War Crimes, Despite Approving $14 Billion Aid"

Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen criticized the Israeli government for blocking aid to civilians in Gaza, calling it a "textbook war crime," but still voted to send $14 billion in aid to Israel, Ukraine, and elsewhere. The aid package also includes funding for Ukraine's war effort and humanitarian aid for Sudan and Gaza. Despite significant opposition from Republicans, the Senate approved the aid package, which now heads to the House of Representatives. The legislation approved by the Senate bans U.S. funding for the main relief agency in Gaza, while the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen.
