>From ChatGPT (with _checked_ references). The U.S. Senate is scheduled to vote on resolutions aimed at blocking certain arms sales to Israel on Tuesday, November 19, 2024. These resolutions, introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders, seek to halt the sale of specific munitions, including 120mm mortar rounds and Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs), due to concerns over Israel’s actions in Gaza and the humanitarian impact on Palestinian civilians.

While the resolutions are not expected to pass, given the strong bipartisan support for Israel in Congress, the vote is significant as it reflects growing concerns among some lawmakers about the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the use of U.S.-supplied weaponry in the conflict. (Reuters, https://www.reuters.com/world/us-senate-consider-measures-blocking-some-weapons-sales-israel-2024-11-18/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) This development follows previous actions by the Biden administration, which, in May 2024, paused certain munitions deliveries to Israel amid concerns over civilian casualties in Gaza.

These resolutions seek to prevent the transfer of specific offensive weaponry, including 120mm mortar rounds and Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs), to Israel. (The Media Line, https://themedialine.org/headlines/senate-democrats-lead-effort-to-halt-arms-sales-to-israel/) The proposed legislation arises from concerns over Israel’s military actions in Gaza and allegations of obstructing humanitarian aid deliveries to Palestinian civilians. While the resolutions are not expected to pass due to strong bipartisan support for Israel in Congress, they aim to prompt both the Israeli government and the Biden administration to take additional measures to protect civilians in Gaza.
