Sen. Bernie Sanders Introduces Resolution to Oppose U.S. Arms Sales to Israel

HeadlineFeb 25, 2025

The Trump administration is revoking a policy that requires reporting when U.S.-supplied weapons are used in violation of international human rights law. The measure was imposed during Biden’s tenure in response to pressure over U.S. arms supplies to Israel. Senator Bernie Sanders said Monday he will move to block the sale of $8.5 billion in U.S. weapons to Israel. Sanders, who also fought against U.S. arms supply to Israel under Biden, said, “It would be unconscionable to provide more of the bombs and weapons Israel has used to kill so many civilians and make life unlivable in Gaza.”
