US Senator: Killing more than 15,000 people in Gaza is a moral failure for Israel
Democratic US Senator Elizabeth Warren said that killing more than 15,000 people in Gaza is a moral failure for Israel.
She added in a tweet on her official page on the X website: “Today I spoke about Israel’s war against Hamas, the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, the growing hatred at home, and the efforts made to secure long-term peace.”
Warren stressed that “US military aid cannot be a blank check for the right-wing Netanyahu government, which has shown its disdain for Palestinian civilians.”
On Wednesday, Republican members of the US Senate blocked a request submitted by the White House to approve an emergency aid package worth $106 billion, primarily benefiting Ukraine and Israel, because it did not include immigration reforms they demand. According to the French news agency.
Reuters reported that as voting continued, the result reached 41 votes to 43, which means that the measure was unable to obtain the approval of 60 votes, which is necessary in the 100-member council to pave the way for the start of discussion of the draft law.
