A political firestorm is raging on Capitol Hill as a dramatic scandal involving the Biden-Kamala administration’s support for arms sales to Israel has come to light.
In a stunning Senate vote, three Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRDs) introduced by Independent Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont—aimed at stopping the United States from selling nearly $20 billion in arms to Israel—were overwhelmingly defeated. Critics argue that this decision not only reflects a deep ideological rift in Washington but also reveals a larger scandal involving the current administration’s policies on foreign military aid. As President Donald Trump calls for charges to be filed, the debate over U.S. support for Israel, adherence to international law, and accountability in government is heating up.
