US Senate Rejects Sanders' Proposals to Block Military Aid to Israel, Despite Democratic Support
The US Senate recently voted against two joint resolutions introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders aimed at blocking military aid to Israel. Senate Joint Resolution 32, which sought to disapprove the sale of D9R and D9T bulldozers and related support to Israel, was rejected by a vote of 40 to 59. Similarly, Senate Joint Resolution 138, which aimed to block the sale of twelve thousand BLU-110A/B general-purpose bombs, was defeated 36 to 63. Despite the rejection, the resolutions garnered significant support from Democratic senators, with 38 Democrats backing the first resolution and 34 supporting the second. Sanders expressed satisfaction with the level of support, noting it was an improvement over previous efforts and indicative of a shift in congressional priorities.
