House Democrats Back Sanders Senate Effort to Halt Arms Sales to Israel

Source: Common Dreams

“A group of progressives in the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders'[s] joint resolutions of disapproval that would block sales of American weapons to Israel as its troops continue to lay waste to the Gaza Strip. Sanders (I-Vt.) introduced the six resolutions in September and plans to force a vote on Wednesday. In a statement led by Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), the House members said that ‘if given the opportunity to do so, we would vote in favor of S.J. Res. 111, S.J. Res. 113, and S.J. Res. 115.'” (11/20/24)
