US senators urge Biden to stop arming Israel

Eight senators sent a letter to US President Joe Biden urging him to stop supplying weapons to Israel that "interferes with US humanitarian assistance." 

Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders and seven Democrats said Monday in the letter that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu government's interference with humanitarian operations has prevented US aid from reaching its intended recipients in a safe and timely manner.

The senators stressed that Netanyahu government's interference in US humanitarian operations violates the Humanitarian Aid Corridor Act.
