 U.S. Senator Sanders presses Biden to deny Israel in military aid. U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders is pressing President Biden to withhold $10.1 billion in military aid to Israel that would support the Israeli military's invasion of Gaza, arguing that the Netanyahu government's military offensive is being conducted in a deeply immoral way. According to the Hill Media outlet, in his letter to Biden, Sanders argues that Israel's military response in Gaza has turned into a mass atrocity and that it would be irresponsible to provide an additional $10.1 billion in military aid beyond the defensive systems that will protect Israeli civilians from incoming missile and rocket attacks. The Vermont senator warned Israel's military campaign will be remembered among some of the darkest chapters of our modern history, noting that since October 7th, 18,000 civilians have been killed and 49,000 wounded, 70% of whom are women and children. The senator and former presidential candidate has been a critic of Israel's government but has refused to call for a permanent ceasefire by Israel in November amid calls for one from the left. In the new letter, Sanders asks Biden to support the United Nations Resolution, which the United States vetoed earlier this week, calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all hostages and full humanitarian access to Gaza.
