Several senators from the US left on Tuesday called on the Biden administration to stop sending arms to Israel, accusing it of being “complicit” in the “atrocities” in Gaza.
"What is happening in Gaza is indescribable," said Senator Bernie Sanders during a press conference, referring to the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians in the Palestinian territory, the destruction of buildings and "Israel's blocking of desperately needed humanitarian aid." necessary."
"But what makes the situation even more painful is that most of what happens there is being done with American weapons and with the support of American taxpayers," he lamented.
Alongside a handful of elected Democrats, the socialist senator introduced several resolutions condemning US aid to Israel, which will be put to a vote on Wednesday.
"The United States is complicit in these atrocities. This complicity must end and that is the purpose of these resolutions," declared Bernie Sanders.
Unless there is a surprise, these texts are unlikely to be approved, with a large number of elected representatives in Congress demonstrating unwavering support for Israel, a historic ally of the United States.
"Will the United States, strong in its commitment to Israel, be forced to remain blind to the suffering occurring before our eyes?" asked Senator Chris Van Hollen at the same press conference.
Israeli operations in Palestinian territory left 43,972 dead, most of them civilians, according to the latest Hamas report, released today.
Israel retaliated for the Hamas massacre of 1,206 people committed by Islamic movement commandos on October 7, 2023, most of them civilians, according to an AFP count based on official figures.
