Sanders: 'I hope' minimum wage hike stays in covid bill
Budget Committee Chairman Sen.
Bernie Sanders tells CNN’s Jake Tapper that he hopes Biden is wrong that his proposed $15 minimum wage increase will have to be dropped from the $1.9 trillion covid relief package.
Senate Democrats displayed growing internal division over US arms sales to Israel, with approximately one-third voting to block $1.097 billion in weapons transfers. Led by Bernie Sanders, these progressive Democrats highlighted humanitarian concerns in Gaza, challenging the Biden administration's stance. The votes revealed increasing tensions within the party regarding Israel's military campaign, though the resolutions were ultimately unsuccessful.

The U.S. Pentagon and President Biden have strongly condemned the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The ICC's charges against the Israeli leaders, including crimes against humanity and war crimes, have sparked a wave of criticism from Israel and the U.S., with both sides rejecting the court's jurisdiction. The ICC's move follows Senate threats of sanctions against the court, adding further diplomatic tension.

The decision reflects the U.S.'s continued support for Ukraine's economic recovery and defense efforts.
