US Senate to review resolutions blocking arms sales to Israel

irishtimes.com — November 19, 2024, 10:01 AM UTC

The U.S. Senate is set to consider resolutions that would block certain arms sales to Israel. These measures, filed by Senator Bernie Sanders and co-sponsored by others, aim to address concerns over Israel's actions in Gaza, where many civilians are suffering. The resolutions target the sale of specific munitions, including mortar rounds and guided bombs. Supporters hope to pressure Israel and the Biden administration to improve civilian protections in Gaza, where health officials report over 43,000 Palestinian deaths amid ongoing conflict. Despite bipartisan support for Israel, the resolutions are unlikely to pass. The Biden administration recently stated that Israel has made progress in facilitating aid to Gaza, a claim disputed by many aid organizations.
