The Senate just voted on Senator Bernie Sanders’ Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to block $446.8 million in weapons and equipment to Israel. The resolutions did not pass, but the vote revealed a major shift.

More Democrats voted to block these weapons than ever before, including 7 of the 10 Jewish senators. That reflects growing public pressure and a movement that is forcing Congress to confront the consequences of continued arms transfers.

These resolutions targeted specific sales, including bombs and heavy equipment that have been linked to civilian harm and destruction in ongoing conflicts.

Senators who voted YES took a stand for accountability and a different path forward. They responded to the voices of constituents demanding change.

At the same time, a majority of senators voted to allow these weapons to move forward. That decision keeps the current policy in place and signals continued support for arms transfers despite rising opposition.

This moment shows both progress and the work still ahead.

Please thank the senators who voted to block these weapons and demand accountability from those who voted against the resolutions.
