US Senator Bernie Sanders has called on the international community to not allow Israel’s “barbarism” after the Israeli defence minister reportedly called for a “complete seige” on Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.
“This is what they have done,” Sanders wrote in a post on social media, citing earlier orders given by Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for his troops to impose “a complete siege on the Gaza Strip”, which would deny food, fuel and electricity to the Palestinian territory.
“We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly,” Gallant said at the time, according to Sanders.
“The world community cannot allow this barbarism,” Sanders added.
