Senate Leader Schumer voted against the resolutions to block arms sales despite being a critic of the war.
Forty Senate Democrats voted to block arms sales to Israel in protest of President Trump's war in Iran, marking a record level of opposition within the party. While the resolutions failed, the shift signals growing Democratic resistance to executive war powers and future military funding.

Senator who reversed position on arms sales
Hassan's version of this story ↗Center-leaning outlets like NBC News focus on Schumer’s pledge to force weekly votes against what he labels "Operation Epic Failure," while Fox News highlights the Senator's decision to allow arms sales to Israel despite his vocal criticism of the Iran conflict. Left-leaning Common Dreams frames the mass arrests at Schumer’s Manhattan office as a grassroots demand for him to move beyond "cheap talk" and actively block military aid.
