Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said he would vote against a bill proposing emergency military aid for Israel and Ukraine, marking a departure from the stance of President Joe Biden and Senate Democratic leadership.
What Happened: Sanders on Monday expressed his concerns over the high number of Palestinian civilian casualties and displacements. He criticized the actions of the Israeli government under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which he deemed “immoral” and “in violation of international law,” HuffPost reported.
"’What the Netanyahu government is doing is immoral,” Sanders said in remarks on the Senate floor.
“It is in violation of international law ― and the United States should not be complicit in those actions."
