Top House Democrats vow to oppose bid to cut US military aid to Israel
House Democratic leaders on Tuesday said they will oppose a Republican amendment to halt $3.3bn in military funding for Israel.
- Hakeem Jeffries, House minority leader, said he will oppose the amendment, calling it “overly broad” and warning it could cut humanitarian aid and complicate counterterrorism efforts.
- Pete Aguilar, the third highest ranking House Democrat, joined Jeffries in opposing the amendment, stating that the Netanyahu administration has isolated Israel and the US must build more regional allies.
- Jeffries called for a major reset in US-Israel relations and said the next bilateral agreement should “strictly adhere to our human rights laws and values” and lead to a Palestinian state.
