Sen. Bernie Sanders forced a floor vote on a resolution on Israel and Gaza.
It would've required the State Department to say whether Israel is violating human rights.
But it easily failed, with the vast majority of senators voting to block the resolution.

Just 11 senators on Tuesday evening supported advancing a resolution from Sen. Bernie Sanders that would have significantly escalated congressional oversight of US military aid to Israel.
