White House sabotages senate vote to block Israel arms sales as staffers dissent against Biden's 'legacy of horror' in Gaza
New internal dissent letters are again blasting Washington for its unwavering support of the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. The US government is lobbying Democratic senators to vote against legislation that would halt $20 billion worth of arms sales to Israel, according to US officials who spoke with the Times of Israel on 20 November. “Biden aides have argued that the weapons in question are essential for Israel’s defense and won’t be delivered for another year or two, ‘so the likelihood of them being used in this iteration of the Gaza context is very low,’” the Israeli daily cites the sources as saying, adding that officials from the White House, State Department, and Pentagon have reached out to “various lawmakers on the fence about how they might vote.”
