Bernie Sanders vows to push resolution to block US weapons to Israel

What Happened

Senator Bernie Sanders announced he will force a Senate vote this week on blocking nearly $500 million in bombs and bulldozers to Israel. Sanders criticized Netanyahu's government, citing Gaza operations. The resolution is unlikely to pass in the Republican-controlled Senate but will measure Democratic support. A similar measure failed 27-70 last year. Recent polling shows declining US support for Israel, particularly among Democrats and young Americans.
