US must follow Canada in halting arms exports to Israel: Sanders
Senator Bernie Sanders said on Tuesday that the Biden administration must follow the Canadian government in halting arms exports to Israel.
Sanders said the Canadian Parliament was “absolutely right” on Monday to approve a nonbinding resolution to stop weapons exports to Israel.
Lawmakers voted 204-117 in favor of the motion after a lengthy debate.
Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly has announced a halt to all arms shipments to Israel.
Israel has used explosives, ammunition, and other equipment supplied by the U.S., Canada, Germany, and other countries to kill more than 31,800 people in Gaza in less than six months.
