On November 20, 2024, the Senate overwhelmingly rejected three resolutions by Senator Bernie Sanders to block a $20 billion arms sale to Israel. Citing concerns over civilian casualties in Gaza, Sanders argued the sale risked perpetuating humanitarian crises. Despite support from 19 senators, bipartisan opposition prevailed. Senate leaders, including Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, emphasized Israel’s security and right to self-defense. The Biden administration echoed this stance, calling the arms sale essential to maintaining Israel’s military edge. While acknowledging the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, officials stressed ongoing efforts to deliver aid and minimize civilian harm. The vote highlights enduring Congressional support for Israel amidst scrutiny of its military actions.
