Fewer Senators Vote to Block U.S. Aid to Israel
(Jewish Insider) Marc Rod - Support for efforts to block aid to Israel shrank among Senate Democrats, with just 15 voting on Thursday in favor of a pair of resolutions to block weapons sales to Israel, down from 19 who supported similar resolutions from Sen. Bernie Sanders last year. Sens. Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Jon Ossoff (D-GA), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Angus King (I-ME), who supported some or all of last year's Sanders resolutions, opposed both of the new resolutions.
