The U.S. Senate has approved weapons sales to Israel, despite the fact that a majority of Senate Democrats voted against the measure.

The Senate overwhelmingly rejected a resolution to ban certain arm sales to Israel late Wednesday evening, exposing stark divisions among Democrats over support for Israel and the country’s war against Hamas in Gaza.

In a sign of mounting apprehension over Israel ’s war in Gaza, a majority of Senate Democrats voted in favor of resolutions to block U.S. weapons sales to Israel on Wednesday. Despite this growing support, the measures failed by wide margins in the Republican-controlled chamber.
