US Sens. Bernie Sanders, Mike Lee and Chris Murphy, along with Democratic Reps. Ro Khanna and Mark Pocan, on Wednesday introduced updated versions of their Yemen war powers resolutions, renewing a battle they first fought in the previous Congress.
In Yemen, the United States supports the Saudi-led war against the Houthi revolutionaries with logistics, intelligence sharing and arms sales. The U.S. military also provided aerial refueling for Saudi coalition aircraft until November, when the Trump administration halted that form of support.
Saudi coalition airstrikes have been the cause for the majority of thousands of civilian deaths in the war, exacerbating the risk of famine for half of Yemen's population, and destroying water infrastructure, which has led to a cholera outbreak.
