Block the bombs: Support grows for US bill to restrict arms for Israel

When Congresswoman Delia Ramirez first announced the Block the Bombs Act to impose a partial embargo against sending weapons from the United States to Israel, only 21 Democratic legislators joined her in supporting the measure.

That was June 2025. One year later, the legislative proposal now has 73 co-sponsors, a tally that Palestinian rights supporters say represents “historic” progress.
