- - - - "The vehicle for congressional action is a bipartisan bill introduced last week by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut. The bill would end US refueling and targeting assistance for Saudi Arabia's bombing, aimed at Houthi rebels in Yemen, unless such actions are authorized by Congress."

      - "Action to end US support for Saudi Arabia's shameful military campaign in Yemen is long overdue. The Saudi regime has used US-supplied aircraft, bombs and missiles to carry out attacks, resulting in thousands of unnecessary deaths when civilian targets such as hospitals, marketplaces, residential neighborhoods and even a funeral were hit."

      - Asked whether he thought the parties involved in the conflict cared about or considered the humanitarian suffering in the country, Mr McGoldrick said: "I think it’s unfortunate that on the one hand we are being supported from a humanitarian point of view by the same people who are arming the parties who are keeping the conflict moving."
