Sen. Bernie Sanders Introduces Resolution to Oppose U.S. Arms Sales to Israel
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Trump administration is revoking a policy that requires reporting
when U.S.-supplied weapons are used in violation of international human
rights law. The measure was imposed during Biden's tenure in response to
pressure over U.S. arms supplies to Israel. Senator Bernie Sanders said
Monday he will move to block the sale of $8.5 billion in U.S. weapons to
Israel. Sanders, who also fought against U.S. arms supply to Israel
under Biden, said, "It would be unconscionable to provide more of the
bombs and weapons Israel has used to kill so many civilians and make
life unlivable in Gaza."
