Sanders has attempted to block weapons to Israel before, and 19 Senate Democrats including Gillibrand and Schumer voted against his last effort in July.
“This is the moment when Schumer and Gillibrand must listen to their constituents,” Sonya Meyerson-Knox, the communications director with Jewish Voice for Peace, told the Associated Press Monday. “The majority of Americans and New Yorkers want a resolution to what the Israeli government is doing.”
