The US senator for Vermont has said that Washington is complicit through its financial support of Israel.
“I will be damned if I’m going to give another nickel to the Netanyahu government in order to continue this war against the Palestinian people,” he said in a post on X.
Sanders, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, forced a vote in January on a resolution seeking to impose conditions on security assistance to Israel.
Senators overwhelmingly voted against the motion. It would have demanded that security aid to Israel be frozen unless the State Department produces a report within 30 days examining whether Israel has committed human rights violations in its campaign in Gaza.
