Senator Bernie Sanders said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the United States should not send additional aid to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “war machine.”MARGARET BRENNAN: You have long been a critic of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The other night, President Biden was heard on a hot mic after the State of the Union address saying he has to have a come to Jesus talk with Netanyahu about letting humanitarian aid into Gaza.
SEN. SANDERS: Well, I’ve spoken to people very high up in his administration. Here’s the bottom line. Margaret, what we are seeing in Gaza today is literally an unprecedented crisis. It’s not just that 30,000 people, two thirds of them are women and children have already been killed. We are looking at the possibility of hundreds of thousands of children starving to death. The United States of America cannot be complicit in this mass slaughter of children.
BRENNAN: You said Israel’s in violation of the Foreign Assistance Act as have a handful of other Democratic senators, they may also be in violation of the Leahy Act, the President himself has the national security powers to suspend.
SANDERS: Well, I think it is the right thing to do. You can’t beg Netanyahu, you got to tell him if you want any money, you got to change your policy. Allow the trucks to come in to feed their children. And by the way, in terms of politics —SANDERS: — Which is secondary, to my mind in this issue. The truth is, whether you’re a conservative Republican or a progressive, you do not want to see children in Palestine starve to death.
