US Senator Bernie Sanders said on Wednesday that Israel is currently considered a right-wing state that is increasingly turning into a religious fundamentalist state.

Sanders pointed out, in an interview on social media, that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and US President Joe Biden are the reason why few Democrats are publicly calling for making aid to Israel conditional.

The independent US senator from Vermont has repeatedly criticized the unlimited US support for Israel in its war on Gaza, and called for it to stop supplying Tel Aviv with money and weapons if it does not put an end to the humanitarian catastrophe in the Strip.

He also previously called on the Biden administration to express its opposition to the behavior of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Last January, Sanders said that the United States is complicit in the nightmare experienced by the Palestinian people.
