Bernie Sanders ramps up pressure on White House: ‘My view is no more military aid to Israel when children [there] are starving’
Hours after Joe Biden told Israel to take concrete steps to protect civilians and aid workers in Gaza or risk losing military support from the US, top members of the president’s Democratic party ramped up pressure on the White House to go further.
The progressive senator Bernie Sanders was among the strongest voices. “Israel should not be getting another nickel in military aid” until it markedly facilitates the flow of provisions into a region that the US suspects is already grappling with famine, he said.
