"This week, I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military, Sanders wrote on X."
"The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers, he said, referring to the administration of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."

This legislative move aims to assess the level of support for Israel among Democrats, particularly in light of growing discontent regarding the US-Israel war on Iran and the situation in Gaza. Despite the Republican-controlled Senate likely preventing the bill's passage, the initiative reflects a shift in public opinion and Democratic sentiment towards Israel.
