Senate rejects Bernie Sanders' proposal to block $8.8 billion in weapons sales to Israel

The U.S. Senate voted on Thursday to reject Senator Sanders' resolution regarding $8.8 billion in arms sales to Israel.
Sanders introduced the resolution due to concerns about the human rights crisis facing Palestinians in Gaza.
The resolutions aimed to halt sales of bombs and other military equipment amid the ongoing crisis and aid suspension.
The Senate rejected the resolution by an 82-15 vote; Sanders stated, "No food, no water, no medicine, no fuel, for over a month."
The resolution's failure signals continued bipartisan support for Israel, despite concerns about civilian casualties and humanitarian conditions.
