Sens. Bernie Sanders, Jon Ossoff introduce resolution to call for Gaza ceasefire

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Wednesday will block a Republican resolution that underlines United States support for Israel, calling the GOP response to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict "destructive," his office said.

Why it matters: Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) will co-sponsor Sanders' alternative to the GOP resolution, his office told Axios' Alayna Treene. The resolution calls for the Senate to urge "an immediate cease-fire" and to protect the human rights of Israelis and Palestinians.

  • What to watch: The floor debate on the resolution begins Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. ET.
