Senator Bernie Sanders is forcing a vote as soon as tomorrow on two resolutions to block critical arms sales to Israel.
This dangerous effort undermines Israel’s security as our ally is fighting a multi-front war to free the hostages and defend its families.
TAKE 45 SECONDS: Urge your members of Congress NOT to cosponsor these anti-Israel resolutions and vote NO if they are brought up for a vote.
Background:
- These arms sales will help ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself, by itself, Iran and its proxies, including the regime’s advancing nuclear weapons program.
- Blocking these arms sales would embolden Israel’s enemies, jeopardize Israeli lives, and make it more difficult to secure the release of the Israeli and American citizens being held hostage by Hamas.
- These sales are financed in part by congressionally appropriated security assistance to Israel, and all of the weapons in these sales are made in the United States, supporting American jobs and helping our economy.
- Members of Congress must strongly oppose these dangerous joint resolutions of disapproval, ensure these sales move forward, and push back against political efforts to condition or restrict aid to Israel.
