WASHINGTON — Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has come out against giving about $10 billion in emergency U.S. aid to Israel as part of a national security spending bill.
The independent senator said it is appropriate for the United States to support defense systems, like the Iron Dome, to protect Israeli citizens from incoming rocket attacks.
Since negotiations over Israeli hostages collapsed last week, Israel has expanded its military campaign in Gaza, pushing into the Hamas stronghold of Khan Younis in the southern part of the strip.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., took a procedural step Monday evening that would set up the process for considering the national security supplemental bill.
Republicans are saying they would filibuster President Joe Biden’s aid package unless Democrats agree to tighten U.S. asylum and parole laws in immigration proceedings.
