"Senate Vote: Bernie Sanders Pushes for Freezing Military Aid to Israel Over Human Rights Concerns"

Senator Bernie Sanders plans to force a Senate vote on freezing military aid to Israel unless the State Department produces a report on potential human rights abuses in Gaza, following the Oct. 7 attacks. The resolution, which has little chance of becoming law, aims to prompt a debate on Israel's military operations in Gaza and the use of U.S. equipment or assistance. Sanders has been a vocal critic of Israel's military response, calling for withholding military funding and denouncing the extensive civilian casualties.
