On Thursday evening, the Senate voted on three resolutions introduced by Bernie Sanders to block three arms sales the Biden administration had previously approved for Israel. The resolutions failed 18-79, 19-78, and 17-80, respectively.

In the lead-up to the vote, the White House aggressively lobbied the Senate to reject Sanders’s resolutions (i.e., to vote against blocking the sales) despite the abundance of evidence showing Israel has used the same weapons in war crimes and probably will again based on past behavior. Let this be remembered as how Biden chose to spend his remaining days in office — lobbying senators to approve more weapons for Israel.
