"We Must End Our Complicity": Sanders Unveils Resolution to Block $20B in Arms Sales to Israel
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Washington, D.C., Sen. Bernie Sanders is preparing a "joint
resolution of disapproval" against a planned $20 billion in U.S. arms
sales to Israel. He spoke from the Senate floor Wednesday.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: "Netanyahu's policies have trampled on
international law, made life unlivable in Gaza and created one of the
worst humanitarian disasters in modern history. … The simple fact is
that we must end our complicity in Israel's illegal and indiscriminate
military campaign, which has caused mass civilian death and suffering."

Meanwhile, Reuters is reporting that Germany appears to have put a hold
on new exports of weapons to Israel amid ongoing legal challenges.
