US Senators call for end to arms sales to Israel over genocidal war on Gaza

Several progressive senators condemned the United States for complicity in what they called ‘atrocities’ by the Israeli regime that has killed nearly 44,000 civilians in Gaza since October 7 last year.

The senators spoke to reporters on Tuesday ahead of a Wednesday vote on resolutions condemning the US weapons sales.

Progressive Senator Bernie Sanders and several other Democrats put forth the resolutions.

Sanders told reporters that "what is happening in Gaza today is unspeakable," pointing out the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza, as well as the destruction of buildings and infrastructure.

"What makes it even more painful is that much of what is happening there has been done with US weapons and with American taxpayer support," the Vermont representative said.

The administration of President Joe Biden has unfalteringly backed Israel while counseling restraint for more than a year.

"The United States of America is complicit in these atrocities," Sanders said. "That complicity must end and that is what these resolutions are about."

Biden has created discord within the White House over his “horrific” Israel policy amid the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip, according to a report.

The US State Department said on Tuesday that American weapons and ammunition supplies to Israelis will continue despite the end of a 30-day ultimatum given to Tel Aviv to take “concrete measures” to stop its violations in Gaza and allow international humanitarian aid through.
