Ranking Member Shaheen Statement on Joint Resolutions of Disapproval on Arms Sales to Israel

WASHINGTON—Today, U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, released the following statement on the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval on arms sales to Israel:

“As Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, I am deeply concerned by the breakdown of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Immediately de-escalating the conflict is crucial for delivering humanitarian aid to Palestinians, releasing the remaining hostages and preventing a regional war. With the delicate negotiations to restore the ceasefire happening right now, I voted against the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval on arms sales to Israel to encourage progress in those conversations.”
