“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s prosecution of the war against Hamas in Gaza is driving an unprecedented number of Senate Democrats to support measures blocking weapons sales to the longtime U.S. ally,” Punchbowl News reports.
“Once backed by just a handful of progressives, Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) months-long effort to block the transfer of certain offensive weapons to Israel now has the support of more than half the Senate Democratic Caucus. It’s also a position that’s more aligned with the Democratic base.”
