US Senator Bernie Sanders has called for an end to US military aid to Israel, in a post on X, Al Jazeera reports.

“Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks,” Sanders said.

“Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again,” he added.

US Congressman Greg Casar also condemned the Israeli blockade on Gaza saying: “The Israeli government has started bombing Gaza again, in violation of the negotiated ceasefire, after blocking food, water, and aid for weeks.”

“We must stop sending offensive weapons to the Israeli government,” Casar said. “We cannot continue to be complicit in Netanyahu’s assault on Palestinian families.”
