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.”
