Senator John Fetterman expressed strong disagreement with labeling the Gaza conflict as a genocide and affirmed his intention to always support Israel, including voting against Senator Bernie Sanders' resolution to block arms sales to Israel. Sanders led a Senate vote to halt two military aid packages to Israel, totaling $675 million, which included 1,000-pound bombs and thousands of assault rifles. Despite efforts by Sanders and other Democrats like Senator Raphael Warnock, who cited the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the bid to block the arms deal ultimately failed. The Senate vote saw 27 Democrats supporting the measure to stop arms shipments to Israel, reflecting a shift from previous years when no senators voted to restrict such aid. However, the resolution did not pass, and some senators, including Cory Booker, voted against withholding military support. The debate highlights ongoing divisions within the Democratic Party regarding U.S. policy toward Israel amid the Gaza conflict and concerns over civilian suffering.
