what i will say, and have said clearly, is that any of our aid needs to be consistent with the lehi law and the arms export control act and it should not be used in any way that violates human rights. >> okay. to that point, senator bernie sanders, as you know, has introduced a resolution of disapproval on a $735 million u.s. arms sale to israel. your democratic colleagues, alexandria ocasio-cortez, rashida tlaib, they introduced a similar resolution in the house. where do you stand on this effort to block the israel arms sale? >> well, i'm where senator kaine and where senator chris murphy is. first we need to be briefed on it. i would not have approved any sale during the violence but my understanding is this is a sale a year from now so we need to know, what is this about? are we going to make sure anything is consistent with the arms export act? we have to first take a step back and try to understand what is going to advance the interests of peace and that is first having secretary blinken actively involved or an envoy actively involved in trying to get back to a two-state solution,
