US Senator Bernie Sanders has again criticised the United States’ continued military aid to Israel as starvation spreads across Gaza.

Sanders wrote on X that “18,500 children have been killed by the Israeli military in Gaza”, and noted that “despite these war crimes, the US has provided more than $22 billion for the war”.

“Our taxpayer dollars are being used to starve children, bomb schools & gun down hungry people as they wait for aid,” he said.
