According to Al Jazeera, Bernie Sanders explained that the Joe Biden government's approach of blindly supporting the Zionist regime has led to a terrible human catastrophe in the Gaza Strip. Asking why Congress has not taken action to end Palestinian suffering and humanitarian catastrophe, noting that such a position by Congress is not justified in the face of the humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, he called on Washington to condition continued aid to the Zionist regime. Sanders also noted: "The United States should not provide financial and military assistance to Israel until there is a fundamental change in its military operations and responsibility for the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip." An earlier resolution proposed by Bernie Sanders, which called for American military aid to Tel Aviv to be conditioned on an investigation into human rights violations in the Zionist regime's war against the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), failed to pass a majority of senators. The United States provides $3.8 billion in military aid to Israel annually. US President Biden recently asked Congress to agree to an additional $14 billion in aid to the Israeli regime. Earlier, Sanders said: "The war launched by Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing cabinet in the Gaza Strip has caused the greatest destruction in the 21st century." The independent senator from Vermont, who said U.N. sites in the Gaza Strip were bombed despite providing their coordinates to Israeli forces, added that aid workers who have worked in war zones for decades believe the Gaza disaster goes beyond anything they've seen up to this point.
