Democratic effort to block Biden weapons sale to Israel gains momentum: 'Congress must step up'

Sen. Elizabeth Warren has expressed support for a Joint Resolution of Disapproval introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders, which aims to block President Biden's arms sale to Israel. The resolution is in response to Israel's failure to provide adequate humanitarian aid to Gazans amid the ongoing conflict with Hamas. Warren criticized the Biden administration for not taking action to restrict the flow of offensive weapons to Israel despite its failure to meet the U.S.'s demands. Last month, the U.S. warned Israel that it may restrict future military support if the humanitarian situation in Gaza did not improve, but ultimately determined that Israel was not in violation of international law. The joint resolution of disapproval is a legislative tool to reverse executive branch actions.
