Blocking Military Weapon Sales to Israel
A senate committee must act next: committee consideration.
Most members of Congress in both parties traditionally support military aid to Israel, and a similar effort would likely face a presidential veto.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
Sent to a congressional committee for expert review. The committee decides whether this bill moves forward.
Introduced in Senate
The bill was officially filed and given a number. It now enters the legislative queue.
The Senate voted down a pair of resolutions to prevent sales of weapons and bulldozers to Israel. Sanders argued the munitions are directly implicated in civilian deaths, while opponents stated the sales are necessary for an ally's defense during a pivotal moment for global security.
Senator Bernie Sanders filed joint resolutions to block the transfer of more than 20,000 bombs, including small-diameter bombs and guidance kits. Sanders stated it would be unconscionable to provide more weapons used to make life unlivable in Gaza and Lebanon.
