U.S. Senate Rejects Senator Bernie Sanders’ Effort to Block $20 Billion Arms Sale to Israel

On November 20, 2024, the Senate rejected three resolutions by Senator Bernie Sanders to block a $20 billion arms sale to Israel, citing concerns over civilian casualties in Gaza. Only 19 senators supported the resolutions, reflecting strong congressional backing for Israel despite increased scrutiny of its military actions.

Senator Sanders argued that U.S. arms sales should not contribute to humanitarian crises, while Senate leaders like Chuck Schumer emphasized Israel’s right to defend itself. The Biden administration also supported the arms sale, prioritizing Israel’s security needs.

Bipartisan opposition to the resolutions highlighted the ongoing importance of U.S.-Israel relations, even amidst growing calls to reassess military aid. The administration stressed efforts to address Gaza’s humanitarian crisis while maintaining Israel’s defense capabilities.

The outcome showed the enduring strength of U.S.-Israel ties, with continued debates over the balance between defense support and human rights concerns.
