Anti-Israel protesters flooded Senate building in illegal protest urging members to vote for arms sale block

In the Biden-Harris administration’s eleventh hour, Senate Democrats are launching a campaign against the Jewish state aimed at drumming up support for blocking arms sales to Israel.

Led by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), the congressional offensive consists of three Senate disapproval resolutions that call for an immediate pause in American arms sales to Israel and accuse the United States of supporting mass war crimes in the Gaza Strip. Sanders—along with Sens. Chris Van Hollen (D., Md.), Jeff Merkley (D., Ore.), Peter Welch (D., Vt.), and other top Democrats—held a press conference on Tuesday touting the measures. Around the same time, anti-Israel protesters stormed a Senate office building, demanding lawmakers back the measures.

The Arms Control Export Act, which governs foreign arms sales, does give Congress a mechanism to block sales if both the House and Senate pass disapproval resolutions. But Sanders's resolutions, even if passed by the Senate’s razor-thin Democratic majority, would not block any pending arms sales to Israel, as the deadline to do so has passed.
