Vermont Senator and leading 2020 Democratic U.S. Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders would “absolutely” weigh withholding U.S. military aid to Israel to pressure the Jewish state into making policy changes.
Speaking with Jon Favreau on his Pod Save America podcast, Sanders, according to most polls the second-place Democratic candidate, agreed that the $3.8 billion U.S. military aid package could be used as “leverage” against the Jewish state.
He emphasized, however, that he believed in Israel’s “absolute” right to peace and security.
