Bernie Sanders called Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip immoral and said that the United States is not obligated to provide $10 billion in financial support for Benjamin Netanyahu's government, The Hill writes. According to him, these funds will be used to continue the Israeli operation in the Gaza Strip. “I don’t think we should be giving $10.1 billion to the right-wing extremist Netanyahu government to continue its current military approach. What the Netanyahu government is doing is immoral, it is a violation of international law, and the United States should not be complicit in these actions,” Sanders said. In particular, he disagrees with the fact that the administration of US President Joe Biden has asked the Pentagon for more than $10 billion to replenish Israel's missile defense systems and other military supplies. According to Sanders, it would be “completely irresponsible” to provide additional funds that would allow the Netanyahu government to continue its military operation in Gaza.
