Sen. Bernie Sanders pushes to block military sales to Israel

Sen. Bernie Sanders is pushing for a vote to block a $151.8 million sale of bombs and a $295 million sale of bulldozers to Israel.
This marks Sanders' fourth attempt to halt military aid to Israel, reflecting increasing dissent among Senate Democrats regarding support for Israel.
Sanders argues that U.S. taxpayers should not fund military actions he deems illegal and harmful to civilians, citing recent polling showing declining support for Israel among Democrats.
