Sanders Calls for Push to End US Army Assistance to Israel


(MENAFN) According to reports, US Senator Bernie Sanders has once again called for an end to US military assistance to Israel, sharply criticizing Israeli military operations and settler activity in the West Bank.

In a post on the social media platform X, Sanders expanded his criticism beyond Gaza, stating:
"It's not just Gaza, Iran and Lebanon," he said.

Sanders said that since October 2023, Israeli soldiers and settlers have killed 1,071 Palestinians, demolished more than 6,000 homes, and established over 200 illegal outposts in the West Bank.

"No more U.S. military aid to Israel," he added.

Reports indicate that the US Senate recently rejected two proposals introduced by Sanders aimed at blocking nearly $500 million in arms sales to Israel.
