Senator Bernie Sanders expressed sharp criticism of the Trump administration regarding the peace agreement in Gaza. In his opinion, the damage from the conflict significantly outweighs the progress made.
Criticism and Figures
The senator from Vermont noted that President Trump continued the policy initiated by the Biden administration. This led to “tragic consequences”: “160,000 injured Palestinians and 65,000 dead, most of whom are women, children, and the elderly.” These figures were reported by The Hill on October 22, 2025.
Sanders emphasized that 10 percent of Gaza’s population was affected. “The blockade of humanitarian aid by Israel has worsened the situation, leaving people without food.” He stated that “none of the participants in the conflict deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, including Trump.”
Revising Foreign Policy
The senator added that the US needs to revise its foreign policy. He believes that taxpayers should not support regimes “like the Israeli one under Netanyahu’s leadership.”
