(CNN) Clare Foran - The Senate on Wednesday voted down an effort led by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) to block a series of planned U.S. weapons sales to Israel. The failure highlights the widespread bipartisan support on Capitol Hill for U.S. military assistance to Israel. A resolution to block a sale of tank rounds was rejected by a vote of 79 to 18. A second resolution to block a sale of high-explosive mortar rounds was rejected by 78 to 19. A third resolution to block a sale of joint direct attack munitions (JDAMS) was rejected by 80 to 17. The White House actively lobbied against the effort to block the arms sales. "We strongly oppose this resolution and we have made our position clear to interested senators," a White House National Security Council spokesperson said. Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell urged his colleagues not to support the resolutions. "Those who mourn senseless human suffering should have no trouble assigning blame to the terrorists who exploit civilians, schools, hospitals and mosques as cover," he said.2024-11-21 00:00:00Full Article
