Senate Strikes Down
The U.S. Senate voted down three bills by independent Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont that would have stopped the U.S. from selling arms to Israel worth about $20 billion.
Sanders’ S.J. Res. 111 bill was thrown out by a vote of 18 to 79 in the Senate on Wednesday night. Since Israel has a lot of support in the upper house, the motions were not expected to pass. However, they show that Democrats don’t agree with President Joe Biden’s view on the ongoing war.
