With the 2024 election in the rearview mirror, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and a group of progressive Democrats could expose long-simmering divides in their caucus by forcing the upper chamber to vote on a trio of resolutions that would block the US government from transferring three different categories of US-built arms to Israel.
The Senate is set to vote Wednesday on three separate measures to prohibit provision of tank rounds, mortars and Joint Direct Attack Munition bomb guidance kits to the Israeli military. The move comes after more than a year of war in Gaza and Lebanon, which critics have said amounts to a genocide against Palestinians.
