US Senator Bernie Sanders has said that Americans should not forget the mistreatment of Palestinians by Israel in the occupied West Bank amid the ongoing US-Israel-Iran war, urging Washington to end US military aid to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“In one year, more than 36,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced and 240 were killed. There were over 1,700 attacks by Israeli settlers,” Sanders has said on X.

“We must end US military aid to Netanyahu.”
