Cybersecdn– In a recent Senate session, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, aged 82, delivered a resolute statement, pledging to oppose a comprehensive national security bill unless it eliminates aid designated for Israel. Sanders, a prominent figure within the Democratic Party, denounced what he termed as “one of the worst humanitarian disasters in modern history” in Gaza.
Sanders underscored the gravity of the situation in Gaza, highlighting the staggering toll of casualties and destruction resulting from Israel’s military response. According to Sanders, more than 27,000 Palestinians have lost their lives, with over 67,000 sustaining injuries, a significant portion of whom are women and children.
The veteran Senator drew attention to the dire conditions prevailing in Gaza, where vital infrastructure lies in ruins, healthcare facilities are incapacitated, and hundreds of thousands face displacement and starvation. He emphasized that the United States cannot afford to be complicit in such atrocities.
Sanders urged his colleagues in the Senate to reject the national security bill as long as it includes provisions for funding Israel’s military operations. His stance reflects a growing sentiment within the Democratic Party calling for a reassessment of U.S. support for Israel amidst the ongoing conflict.
Furthermore, Sanders criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his resistance to ceasefire negotiations, accusing him of exacerbating the crisis and perpetuating the suffering of innocent civilians in Gaza. Sanders called for accountability and stressed the importance of leveraging U.S. influence to halt the violence, signaling the urgency of reevaluating the dynamics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Sanders’ threat to vote against the national security bill presents a significant challenge for Democratic leadership, traditionally supportive of aid to Israel. His unwavering stance on the issue underscores the shifting landscape within the Democratic Party regarding its stance on Israel and the Palestinian territories.
