The U.S. Senate voted down three bills by independent Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont that would have stopped the U.S. from selling arms to Israel worth about $20 billion.
Nearly a year after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, Sanders introduced three Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRDs) in late September. The Gaza Health Ministry says that Israel’s following military ground and
air campaign in Gaza has killed over 43,000 people by some estimates.
