Sen. Bernie Sanders calls for a Gaza ceasefire
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ list of economic policies received a welcome reception from the crowd at United Center, but it was his call for an end to the war in Gaza that received a big response from the audience.
Sanders called for the Israeli hostages held by Hamas to be released and for a ceasefire to be reached to end the attacks in Gaza that — according to the Gaza Health Ministry — have killed more than 40,000 Palestinians since Israel launched its offensive in response to the attack on Israel by Hamas-led militants on Oct. 7. Around 1,200 people were killed in the attack, according to Israel.
