The United States must cease funding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ongoing war in Gaza, Senator Bernie Sanders said on Wednesday.

"This week: 19 people killed & scores injured in a strike in a 'humanitarian zone' in Gaza," Sanders wrote on X. "An American shot in the head in the West Bank. Now, another school bombed, killing 14 people, including 6 UN aid workers."

This week: 19 people killed & scores injured in a strike in a “humanitarian zone” in Gaza.

An American shot in the head in the West Bank.

Now, another school bombed, killing 14 people, including 6 UN aid workers.

Enough is enough. No more money for Netanyahu's war machine.

"Enough is enough. No more money for Netanyahu's war machine," the senator urged.

Last Friday, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) killed Turkish-American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi while she was protesting against the occupation's illegal settlements in the West Bank.

President Joe Biden, who has failed to offer condolences to Eygi's family, described the shooting as an "accident," asserting the bullet "ricocheted off the ground, and she got hit.”

Sanders has denounced the Biden administration's financial and military funding to "Israel" amid its ongoing genocide in Gaza.

War on Gaza would not have lasted without US support: Israeli officer

An Israeli Air Force senior officer has disclosed plans to increase the production of bombs, missiles, and other munitions within the Israeli occupation, aiming to reduce the air force's reliance on foreign suppliers, particularly the United States.

Speaking to Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the officer emphasized that without American support, the Israeli military, especially the Air Force, would face significant difficulties in sustaining its aggression for more than a few months.

This shift toward domestic production is driven by concerns over some delays in arms shipments from the Biden administration. These delays have particularly affected the Air Force, as most of its equipment is purchased from American companies and funded through US military aid.

After these delays, the Biden administration, with Congressional approval, sent unprecedented emergency military supplies shipments worth $14 billion, in addition to the regular annual US military aid of $3.8 billion. Washington also provided an additional $500 million for Israeli anti-air systems.

Haaretz drew parallels between the current situation and the Israeli occupation's experience during the 1967 war, when French President Charles de Gaulle imposed an arms embargo on "Israel", cutting off supplies of tanks, missile boats, and Mirage aircraft. At that time, the occupation shifted its reliance to the United States, which has since supplied the Israeli Air Force with all its fighter jets, as well as some bombs, missiles, and intelligence equipment.
