"The blank check approach must end," Sanders wrote in an op-ed for The New York Times. "The United States must make clear that while we are friends of Israel, there are conditions to that friendship and that we cannot be complicit in actions that violate international law and our own sense of decency."
Sullivan echoed Biden, noting that the current approach the president has taken with regards to the Middle East conflict, which includes "direct presidential diplomacy behind closed doors with the Israelis and with our Arab partners" is working, as proven by the release of hostages by Hamas during the truce deal.
"We regularly condition our aid to allies based upon compliance with U.S. law and international law," Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) told CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday. "And, so, I think it's very consistent with the ways in which we have dispensed aid, especially during wartime, to allies, for us to talk about making sure that the aid we give Ukraine or the aid we give Israel is used in accordance with human rights laws."
