Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) called on President Biden to cut $10.1 billion in proposed aid to Israel in a letter that called the Israeli military’s actions in Gaza “mass atrocities.” to which the United States is complicit. In an interview, Sanders said Biden was “deeply concerned” about the civilian death toll — but that concern is not enough. “I think there are a lot of senators who are willing to put conditions on aid to Israel,” Sanders said. Sanders also called on Biden to support the humanitarian ceasefire resolution, which the United States vetoed at a recent UN Security Council meeting. But Sanders said he supported the U.N. resolution because he believes it is a temporary, rather than permanent, humanitarian ceasefire.
