WASHINGTON, April 22 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today released the following statement regarding the upcoming Senate votes on a spending package that would provide billions more in unfettered military aid to Israel:
I look forward to offering amendments tomorrow to cut billions in offensive military funding to Israel from the proposed national security supplemental package and protect essential humanitarian operations. The Senate should have a chance to debate and vote on the key components of such a massive package.
In poll after poll, Americans have showed their increasing disgust for Netanyahu’s war machine and the humanitarian disaster it has caused in Gaza.
Enough is enough. We cannot continue to fund this horrific war.
