Senate Democrats force Israel weapons vote, citing Biden inaction
Escalating pressure on the Biden administration, Senate Democrats have demanded an expedited vote on a resolution to block a proposed $735 million weapons sale to Israel. The move comes amid the ongoing conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, with Democrats criticizing the administration for failing to take decisive action to de-escalate the violence.
The resolution, co-sponsored by Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, would mandate a congressional review of the proposed sale. It is expected to face significant opposition from Republicans, who typically support military aid to Israel.
The Democrats’ push for a vote reflects growing frustration with the administration’s approach to the conflict, which they believe has been too passive. They argue that the weapons sale would only further fuel the violence and make a ceasefire more difficult to achieve.
