Senator Bernie Sanders, while actively campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, has expressed growing frustration over the Biden-Harris approach to Gaza and the broader US-Israel relationship.
He stresses the importance of defeating former President Donald Trump, whom he sees as an even more dangerous ally for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Vermont independent, who has long championed progressive foreign policy, has been a leading voice in calling for a shift in US policy toward Israel and Palestine.
He has spoken out against the ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza, which have resulted in over 44,000 Palestinian deaths since October 7.
Bernie Sanders has called for an immediate ceasefire, an end to US military aid to Israel, and a shift in Washington’s approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
In a video released last week, Bernie Sanders addressed voters’ concerns, particularly those of younger, progressive, and Muslim-American voters who feel alienated by the Biden administration’s position.
The video, which has gone viral, was viewed by millions across social media platforms, including 4.7 million views on X (formerly Twitter).
