In the United States, they told about the split in the Senate on the issue of arms supplies to Israel

There has been a split in the U.S. Senate in historically bipartisan support for Israel. This was reported by The Hill on July 30.

"Although the resolutions ultimately failed, the vote demonstrated how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu undermined the historically established bipartisan support in Congress over the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip," the article says.

It is noted that the first resolution suggested blocking the sale of weapons to Israel in the amount of more than $ 675 million. The vote was unsuccessful: 27 Democratic senators voted in favor and 70 against. The second resolution was supposed to ban the sale of tens of thousands of fully automatic assault rifles. This document was supported by 24 senators, 73 voted "against".

Senator Bernie Sanders was the author of both resolutions.

"Whatever happens tonight, history will condemn those of us who failed to act in the face of these horrors," he said.

On July 5, The Washington Post (WP) reported that from a political and strategic point of view, it is more profitable for US President Donald Trump to help Israel rather than Ukraine. It is clarified that this conclusion was made as a result of the US decision to suspend the supply of Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine due to their effectiveness in the Middle East: they helped reduce damage from Iranian strikes.
