United StatesDemocrats are divided over a proposed House amendment that would block U.S. aid to Israel, reflecting broader tensions within the party regarding criticism of the Netanyahu government. The amendment, introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), is part of a State Department funding bill and aims to prevent any funds from being allocated to Israel. While some Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), oppose the amendment, arguing it could hinder humanitarian efforts and counterterrorism, others, like members of the Progressive Caucus, support it as a symbolic gesture against Israeli policies. The amendment faces significant challenges in passing due to strong Republican backing for Israel.
