The Senate on Wednesday voted across party lines to move forward a bill that would end U. S. involvement in the war in Yemen .
The Senate voted 63-37 to pass the procedural vote, which will set up a floor debate on the resolution next week.
The bipartisan vote was viewed as a rebuke to both Saudi Arabia and the Trump Administration, which is leading the war in Yemen, and President Trump for their handling of the Jamal Khashoggi murder, Senate leaders said.
“The Saudis have gone off the rails. They’ve killed more civilians this year than any year prior in the Yemen war,” Democratic Senator Chris Murphy told AFP.
“They obviously made a giant strategic error in abducting and murdering Jamal Khashoggi.
