Eight senators sent a letter to President Joe Biden demanding the United States stop sending military aid to Israel until it lifts restrictions they claim the country is imposing on aid going into Gaza, according to the New York Times.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) was joined by seven Democratic senators who wrote to Biden, arguing that the president is in violation of the Foreign Assistance Act, which bars the U.S. from sending military support to nations that restrict aid.
