Bernie Sanders decries Israel's ban on Arab parties

US Senator Bernie Sanders is condemning Israel's election committee's decision to ban the country's two major Arab parties just four weeks before the election. In a widely shared post, Sanders said the move shows that Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right allies want Palestinian citizens, about 20% of Israel's population, to have no political voice, and he called for an end to US military support.

Why now: Sanders, a prominent US political figure, is speaking out against a controversial Israeli election decision, drawing wide attention.
