Bernie Sanders’s Pressure Campaign Over Israel

By on • ( Leave a comment )
At 82, Bernie Sanders is almost certainly never running for president again, though he is playing coy about trying for a fourth term in the Senate. If he doesn’t run, 2024 will be his second-to-last year in office. One of his final crusades might then be stopping what he calls Israel’s immoral war by applying pressure on his own party. Progressives, he tells Gabriel Debenedetti in a rare interview, “have a right to be upset at the administration.” While he may not share their anger at the White House, Sanders is growing impatient. He wants to turn the screws on Benjamin Netanyahu and says Democrats had better do so before it’s too late.
