Nancy Pelosi Joins 40 House Democrats Urging Biden To Stop Arms Sales To Israel

Nancy Pelosi lambasted the push by Donald Trump to add a citizenship question to the upcoming census, stating that the administration is battling in federal court to insert the question because it would have a chilling effect on who responds.

Pelosi also said that the census question aims to 'make America white again'. The inclusion of the question has been temporarily blocked by the Supreme Court. Pelosi warned that if people don't answer their census forms, the administration will prevail.

Pelosi joins democrats in push to stop US weapon transfers to Israel

The push to stop US weapon transfers to Israel was joined by Pelosi and other Democrats amid growing tensions between Israel and Gaza, which have become a major political issue in the United States in recent months. As the election season nears, close attention is being paid to any movement by the US, even a small one, as reported by Hindustan Times.

In response to an attack by Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, an assault on Gaza was launched by Israel on October 7th, leading to severe criticism and international scrutiny. More than 33,000 people have reportedly died in the war, according to the Gaza health ministry, with the narrow coastal strip also experiencing mass starvation, making the humanitarian situation even more alarming.

Ending arms sales to Israel was argued for by Pelosi, a senior member of Biden's Democratic Party, indicating that this view is increasingly becoming mainstream in the party, as reported Hindustan Times.
