AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): US Senator Bernie Sanders said Sunday that it would be “irresponsible” for the US to provide an additional $10 billion in military aid to Israel to sustain its war against Hamas.
Sanders made the remarks while appearing on the CBS News program Face the Nation, according to The Hill news outlet.
"I think that it would be irresponsible for the United States to give (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu another $10 billion to continue to wage this awful war," he said, alluding to the thousands of Palestinian civilians killed during Israel's attacks on Gaza.
"What the Congress has got to do is make it clear to Netanyahu that we're not going to simply give them a blank check to kill women and children in Palestine," he added.
He highlighted that there are “1.9 million people displaced, going around without any water, food. Without any medical supplies. It is a humanitarian disaster. And the United States has got to put all of the pressure that it can to tell Netanyahu to stop this disastrous military approach.”
He also said that Netanyahu's goal regarding Gaza is unclear.
