The Senate overwhelmingly rejected attempts by Sen. Bernie Sanders and a few Democrats to block U.S. arms sales to Israel, despite rising civilian casualties in Gaza. Citing the humanitarian crisis, Sanders argued Israel's military actions violate human rights. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the White House opposed the resolutions, emphasizing continued military support for Israel as vital. The bipartisan rejection of these resolutions reflects continuing tensions within the Democratic Party and highlights complexities in U.S. foreign policy amidst the ongoing conflict that has claimed nearly 44,000 lives in Gaza.
