United States Senator Bernie Sanders (pictured) said on Friday that Congress will not be able to pass a supplemental spending bill for Israel until the attacks on the Gaza Strip stop.
"There is a horrific humanitarian disaster in Gaza. Israel must stop the bombing now and allow for massive amounts of humanitarian aid, including fuel, to reach those who need it," Sanders wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The 82-year-old senator has now joined a group of American legislators who continue to call for a ceasefire in the Middle East. Two days ago, 24 members of Congress sent a letter to President Joe Biden asking him to support a bilateral ceasefire in Gaza.
