Sanders denounces West Bank violence, calls to end US aid to Israel
Writing on social media platform X, Sanders stated, "In two years, Israel has killed more than 1,000 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Every day, settlers attack Palestinian villages.
Netanyahu & his extremist allies have one goal: annexation by force. The U.S. has enabled them. No more US military aid for Israel."
The Israeli military has intensified operations in the West Bank since the start of the war in Gaza in October 2023. Reports indicate that at least 1,080 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 11,000 injured in attacks by Israeli forces and illegal settlers in the occupied territory, with over 20,000 arrests recorded.
Last July, the International Court of Justice issued a landmark opinion declaring Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
