Senator Bernie Sanders has once again urged the US government to halt arms shipments to Israel, saying “there should be no more money for the Netanyahu war machine”, Al Jazeera reports.

Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont, has in recent months grown more vocally critical of Israel’s incursion in Gaza and US military backing for Israel.

In January, Sanders introduced a resolution to condition US security aid to Israel on whether the country is committing human rights abuses in its “war” in Gaza. The Senate overwhelmingly voted to kill the resolution.
