No more weapons to Israel, says Bernie Sanders

US Senator Bernie Sanders has once again urged the Biden administration to halt arms shipments to Israel, saying “there should be no more money for the Netanyahu war machine”.

Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont, has in recent months grown more vocally critical of Israel’s war in Gaza and US military backing for Israel.

In January, Sanders introduced a resolution to condition US security aid to Israel on whether the country is committing human rights abuses in its war in Gaza. The Senate overwhelmingly voted to kill the resolution.
