In a recent Truthout article, Stephen Zunes writes that the U.S.’s continued military aid to Israel violates both the Section 6201 of the 1961 Foreign Assistance Act and the 1999 Leahy Amendment. “The Biden administration refuses to abide by these laws and neither Congress nor the courts have been willing to enforce them,” he says. Zunes joins host Allen Ruff to discuss his latest piece and the global response to the war happening in Gaza.
