This represents the first time in US-Israel relations that over 25 Democratic senators have opposed military aid to Israel. The rapid progression from 15 to 18 to 27 senators in less than a year signals an unprecedented fracturing of traditional bipartisan support. This shift among senior Democratic leadership, including Patty Murray, marks a historic break in the decades-long consensus on Israeli military support.

📰 What Happened
The US Senate rejected two resolutions to block arms sales to Israel, despite securing unprecedented Democratic support. Led by Bernie Sanders, 27 Democrats voted against selling 20,000 assault rifles, while 24 opposed a $675M bomb shipment. This marks a significant increase from 15 supporters in April and 18 in November. Senator Patty Murray notably shifted position, citing Netanyahu's strategy and Gaza's man-made famine as reasons. All voting Republicans opposed the measures.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The dramatic split among US senators (27 Democrats opposing) signals a prophetic realignment matching Zechariah's prediction of all nations eventually turning against Jerusalem. The specific mention of 20,000 assault rifles and $675M in bombs represents unprecedented scrutiny of military support. Senator Murray's explicit criticism of Netanyahu as prolonging war 'to stay in power' echoes Daniel's warnings about deceptive leadership in the end times. This internal US political division over Israel marks a crucial shift from historical patterns, potentially accelerating the prophesied international isolation of Israel.
