On Wednesday, the Senate voted on two resolutions that would block U.S. military sales to Israel.
Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders sponsored the resolutions, which both failed to garner majority support, according to Newsweek.
The resolutions did, however, have record support from Senate Democrats.
“By a vote of 27-17, Senate Democrats voted to stop sending arms shipments to a Netanyahu government which has waged a horrific, immoral and illegal war against the Palestinian people,” Sanders said in a statement. “The tide is turning. Americans don’t want to spend billions to starve children in Gaza.”
One of the resolutions would block the U.S. from selling rifles to Israel, while the other would block nearly $700 million in arms sales.
Warren voted in favor of both.
Netanyahu’s government has created an epic disaster in Gaza. 6,000 food trucks are lined up at the border, children are starving, and still Netanyahu blocks help.
History will remember this moment.
