US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters today (Wednesday) that Democrats in the Senate are considering imposing conditions on the aid the United States provides to Israel.

The Senate thwarted a draft resolution that sets conditions on American aid to Israel. The Council voted by a majority of 72 votes in opposition to 11 votes in support of the project proposed by independent progressive Senator Bernie Sanders.

Sanders said in a speech before the Council, addressing his colleagues: “Whatever your opinion about this terrible war, we cannot hide... Since the beginning of the conflict, we have not discussed a single project that touched on the unprecedented destruction, the humanitarian crisis, and the use of American weapons in a military campaign that left many dead and wounded.” And the displaced.”

Although the project failed to obtain the votes required for approval, which was expected, putting it up for discussion in the Council is an extremely important “exceptional step,” as it shows increasing opposition to US President Joe Biden’s policy toward Israel among his supporters.

America provides annual military aid to Israel worth $3.8 billion, and the Biden administration asked Congress to approve an amount of $14.3 billion last October, but lawmakers have not approved the amount until now due to internal disputes related to immigration reform, which It prompted the White House to seek to bypass Congress' powers through emergency law, and to send military aid worth approximately $106 million to Israel last December.
