28 OUTLETSWhile a majority of Senate Democrats voted to block arms sales to Israel, Leader Chuck Schumer joined a small group of seven Democrats to defeat the resolutions. Left-leaning outlets like Common Dreams frame the vote as "cowardly" and highlight calls for Schumer to resign, while Jewish Insider and American Faith emphasize his adherence to traditional party support for Israel. Outlets across the spectrum, including TIME and the Saudi Gazette, noted that Schumer’s stance triggered intense protests and arrests at his New York offices.
