Some legislators have sought to block the $735m deal to increase pressure on Israel amid Gaza bombardment.
United States Senator and former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has introduced a resolution to block a $735m arms sale to Israel amid the close US ally’s continuing bombardment of the Gaza Strip.

It comes a day after Democrats in the House of Representatives introduced similar legislation after being notified of the sale on May 5.
