The vast majority of House Republicans just voted to kneecap foreign military financing and energy security cooperation for Israel, our most critical ally.
Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) joined Reps. Dean Phillips (MN-03), Brad Schneider (IL-10), Greg Landsman (OH-01), Kathy Manning (NC-6), Jared Moskowitz (FL-23), Lois Frankel (FL-22), Jake Auchincloss (MA-04), Adriano Espaillat (NY-13), and Brad Sherman (CA-32) to condemn House Republicans’ failed continuing resolution and its abandonment of our critical Middle East ally, Israel.

“The vast majority of House Republicans just voted to kneecap foreign military financing and energy security cooperation for Israel, our most critical ally,” said Wasserman Schultz. “This group that voted to cut Israel aid by $1 billion, with a “B,” includes almost every self-described ‘moderate Republican’ in this chamber. We will call out every Republican member who has backed off the promises they’ve made to their Jewish-American constituents in exchange for whatever Interim Speaker McCarthy promised them.”
