Sen. Bernie Sanders has taken a strong stance against President Trump's proposed $8.5 billion arms sale to Israel, citing the potential for ongoing war crimes due to Israel's violation of ceasefire agreements in Gaza. In his effort to block the sale, he introduced four Joint Resolutions of Disapproval.

Sanders argues that proceeding with the sale would violate U.S. laws pertaining to arms exports and emphasizes the devastating impact these weapons have had on Gaza's civilian population.
