The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the Israel Security Assistance Support Act, compelling the Biden administration to deliver military aid to Israel. The bill, which passed 224-187 with the support of 16 Democrats and opposed by 3 Republicans, aims to override President Biden's decision to pause weapon shipments, including 2,000-pound bombs, to Israel amid its conflict with Hamas and the Rafah invasion. Critics argue that Biden's halt on arms shipments is a political move to gain voter support. The bill is unlikely to pass the Senate, and Biden has vowed to veto it. The legislation has sparked significant debate, with supporters emphasizing the need to support Israel, while opponents accuse the GOP of using the issue as a political tool.
Joe Biden is facing heat from his left over conditions in Gaza. But casting doubt on continued American support for Israel has angered others to his right. And no one is watching the president more closely than Israelis themselves https://t.co/Go1EmngT2p 👇
Sixteen Democratic lawmakers joined Republicans to pass a bill that would force the US to expedite all approved arms shipments to Israel. The Biden administration said it would veto the bill, claiming it “undermines” the president’s foreign policy https://t.co/2SL0y5o97C
Joe Biden backstabbed our ally in the middle of a war. This week, House Republicans voted to end his embargo on arms to Israel. America does not benefit if Hamas, which is holding U.S. citizens hostage, is allowed to regroup. https://t.co/6kmBrdJYJ8
