Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said during a conference led by activist group J Street that parts of US military aid to Israel, which is located at approx. $ 35 billion annually, should rather go to humanitarian efforts in the Gaza Strip. Sanders also said that if he becomes the next president of the United States, he will use the aid to pressure Israel politically, writes the Times of Israel.





-I would spend the $ 35 billion to make more of an impact. That’s a lot of money, and we cannot give it to the Israeli government or any other government for that matter without reservation. We have the right to demand respect for human rights and democracy, Sanders said during the conference.

It was the former US President, the Democrat Barack Obama, who in 2016 signed the record-breaking military aid agreement cooperation/' target='_blank'>cooperation-with-israel/' target='_blank'>cooperation-with-israel/' target='_blank'>with Israel. Now, several of the Democratic presidential candidates fighting to become the party’s presidential candidate in the 2020 election are calling for the support to be used to pressure Israel. But Sanders is the only one considering moving some of the money to the Gaza Strip, which is today controlled by the terrorist group Hamas.





-My solution for Israel is, if you want military help, you need to change your
basic relationship with the people of Gaza. “I think some of the $ 35 billion will go to humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip,” said the politician.





– The Israelis wake up every day with an existential threat hanging over them. That is why we must always stand by the support that gives Israel the opportunity to defend itself, says Biden about the military assistance.

The Republican – former UN ambassador Nikki Haley has reacted strongly to Sanders will make Israel less able to defend itself.





-Just when you thought Bernie Sanders could not become more radical, he manages to outdo himself. He will take the money we give Israel to defend itself against terrorists, and give them to Gaza, which is ruled by terrorists ?? Unreal, Haley writes on Twitter.

Yuli Edelstein, Likud politician and president of the Knesset, believes it is absurd that Sanders is suggesting that Israel is to blame for the situation in Gaza. In a Twitter message, he writes that Sanders “has to stop talking nonsense”.

-Hamas leaders in Gaza have all the necessary means, but they use money earmarked to benefit the public from attacking the state of Israel, he said.

Edelstein also pointed out that Hamas spends hundreds of millions of dollars to build terrorist tunnels into Israeli territory, rockets, weapons and other terror. He believes that it is not the lack of money that is the problem, but that those who control the Gaza Strip – Hamas – do not prioritize helping their own.

Israel is far from the only country receiving military aid From usa. Several U.S. allies around the world are receiving military assistance. Many of the funds Israel receives go to developing the Iron Dome rocket defense.
