A group of left-leaning U.S. senators called for a halt to arms sales to Israel, accusing the United States of enabling “atrocities” in Gaza through its military support, media reported. 

The senators, led by progressive Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, held a media conference ahead of a vote on resolutions condemning the ongoing weapons sales. 

These resolutions, expected to fail due to strong support for Israel among lawmakers, are part of a broader push by the progressive wing of the Democratic Party to reevaluate U.S. involvement in the Gaza conflict, AFP reported. 

Sanders criticised the massive civilian toll in Gaza, pointing out the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians and the destruction of homes and infrastructure, much of which, he argued, is made possible through U.S. military aid. 

Sanders, emphasising the United States’ role in the conflict, declared, “The United States of America is complicit in these atrocities,” urging an end to American complicity. 

Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen, also speaking at the event, questioned whether the U.S. commitment to Israel had blinded American policymakers to the suffering in Gaza.
