2020Senator Bernie Sanders delivered a stern rebuke of Israeli policies at J Street's annual conference on Monday, saying he would use US aid as "leverage" to advance human rights. He also suggested that he would repurpose some of the assistance to Israel as humanitarian aid to Palestinians."What's going on in Gaza right now... is absolutely inhumane; it is unacceptable; it is unsustainable," Sanders said.
Elizabeth Warren: 'Our aid should not be used to support annexation'Senator Elizabeth Warren, who has been rising in the polls, said US assistance to Israel should not be used to annex parts of the West Bank, stressing the need for a two-state solution to the conflict."If Israel's government continues with steps to formally annex the West Bank, the US should make clear that none of our aid should be used to support annexation," she said in a video address to the conference.Before the Israeli elections took place last month, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to "apply Israeli sovereignty" to the West Bank's Jordan Valley, which constitutes about a third of Palestinian territory.
