Bernie Sanders Takes Stand Against US Aid to Israel and Calls for Gaza Peace

Senator Bernie Sanders criticized Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's proposed $110 billion aid package, specifically objecting to funds allocated to Israel in its conflict with Hamas. Sanders argued that the money should not be given to the "right-wing, extremist Netanyahu government" while Palestinians suffer casualties and injuries. He also expressed concern that the aid package did not address the urgent needs of working families in the United States. Sanders has previously called for conditioning U.S. aid to Israel based on its actions in Gaza, a stance that has drawn criticism from mainstream Democrats.
