Senate rejects Bernie Sanders’ effort to block weapons sales to Israel

The US Senate has rejected a proposal put forward by Senator Bernie Sanders to block a $735 million arms sales deal to Israel. This move is part of a broader debate among US lawmakers over America’s unwavering support for Israel amid ongoing Israeli-Palestinian violence. Sanders, who is known for his pro-Palestinian stance, had asserted that the US should not be supplying high-tech weaponry to Israel without any conditions. However, the Senate voted against the resolution, allowing the arms deal to proceed.
