Senate Democrats has shifted a stable tonal on Israel, recently a glimpse of the Jewish state on the development on the hill with one vote to prevent arms sale to the state.

Sanders’ push finally failed at the end of last month, but more than half of the Damocrates of all Senate voted with him, with several votes with him for the first time. Meanwhile, all Senate Republicans voted against him.
“The tide is changing,” Sanders, who regularly cocuses with a democrat, said in a statement. “American people do not want to spend billions to keep children hungry in Gaza. Democrats are moving forward on the issue, and I look forward to Republican support in the near future.”
Getting Republicans on the board for future efforts, as Sanders hoped, is the best, a stretch.
“Republican stands with Israel,” Jim Six, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, R-deho, in a statement, told Fox News Digital.
He would have restored the unsuccessful policies of the Biden administration to block arms sales and will leave the closest allies of the US in the Middle East, “They continued.” We can’t take the risk of returning there. “

But the change within Democratic Cocks was likely to release the pictures of hungry children in the Gaza Strip, which earned surprised reactions from both MPs and President Donald Trump.
Many Democrats have blamed Israel and argued that the Jewish kingdom has put a chokehold on aid for citizens in Gaza, while Republican says the terrorist organization Hamas is stealing food.
“What is going on is unacceptable, and Israel has the power to fix it,” Sen. Angus kingI-men told Fox News Digital.
Like Sanders, the king usually cocks with the Senate Democrats. But unlike his partner independent associate, he regularly firm in support of Israel. But photographs and reports of extensive malnutrition motivated them to vote for blocking arms sales.
“Israel is one who is not receiving help,” he said. “The human response is completely within Israel’s hands, and they are at the point where I could not be silent right now, he is blocked, slow, starting and stopping.”
And like the king, Sen Jean Shaheen, the top ranking democrats in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, changed the course and voted in favor of blocking the sale of arms out of the concern that food aid was not making its way for the Palestinians.
“I think it is important to send a message to the Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu and his government need to change the things, “New Hampshire Democrat said in an interview with PBS Newshore.

But Republican alleged that this Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not the fault that food aid was not making its way in Gaza, and instead believed that it was stealing food.
Sen John KennedyR-La., Said that Israel wants to ensure that food assistance actually makes citizens in Hamas.
“Israel and America have cut out, cut most of Hamas’s cash flow,” Kennedy said. “And many of their cash flows depend on stealing food and selling it, sometimes absorbing their own people, prices.”
And not each Senate Democrat is on the same page when it comes to their position on the Jewish state.

Sen John Fetterman, D-Pa.
“I really believe fundamentally, there has been a wholesale change within my party, even, to blame Israel for situations and circumstances,” Fetman told Fox News Digital. “And I really don’t understand. It seems that we have seen the same pictures and of course, what has happened in Gaza is disastrous.”
“But therefore, for me, I blame Hamas and Iran,” they continued. “And I don’t know why collective is not like global resentment.”
