US Senator Sanders Condemns Netanyahu, Urges End to Military Aid Amid Gaza Starvation

Senator Bernie Sanders has strongly condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling him a "disgusting liar" for denying the starvation crisis in Gaza amid ongoing conflict. Sanders criticized the Israeli government's blockade and military actions that have devastated Gaza's infrastructure, leading to severe malnutrition and deaths, particularly among children. He has introduced a resolution to halt U.S. military aid to Israel, labeling Netanyahu's government as "extremist" and "racist." Sanders' comments align with President Donald Trump's acknowledgment of the starvation in Gaza, marking a rare agreement between the two. The humanitarian crisis is exacerbated by Israel's near-total blockade, despite limited aid deliveries and international calls for ceasefire and recognition of Palestinian statehood. UK Labour leader Keir Starmer has also indicated potential recognition of Palestine, emphasizing ceasefire and hostage release efforts.
