WASHINGTON — The Senate rejected a pair of resolutions aimed at blocking a major U.S. arms transfer to Israel, delivering a decisive setback to an effort led by Sen. Bernie Sanders to impose new limits on American military support.
The measures, which sought to use Congress’ authority to challenge the proposed weapons transfers, failed by a wide margin, with the 79-18 vote demonstrating that most senators were unwilling to halt the sale.
