US Senator Bernie Sanders, a far-left independent from Vermont, hails Canada’s decision to halt weapons sales to Israel and calls on the US to end military aid to Jerusalem.

“Canada’s parliament has voted to stop arms sales to Israel. They are absolutely right to do so,” Sanders posts on X.

“Given the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, including widespread and growing starvation, the US should not provide another nickel for Netanyahu’s war machine,” he says.
