| Promises made, promises kept: House Passes $3.3 Billion Israel Aid in Bipartisan Vote as part of 10-year plan |
| 2026-01-15 |
| [AppropriationsHouse] Bottom Line Up Front: The House passed H.R. 7006 by a 341-79 bipartisan vote, allocating $3.3 billion in Foreign Military Financing grants to Israel as part of our annual commitment under a 2016 memorandum of understanding pledging $38 billion over 10 years. The bill also bans U.S. funding for UNRWA, the ICC, ICJ, and U.N. Commission on Israel, while adding funds for U.S.-Israel cooperation. Supporters like AIPAC hailed it as reinforcing the partnership against threats like Iran, though critics called it an unaffordable priority over domestic needs, with the measure now heading to the Senate. As long as it gets past there, which it should, Trump will sign it. The real news isn't that we're keeping our word on our MOU promises of funding (NATO, take lessons) but the DEfunding. Fuck the following, in any order: UNRWA UN ICC ICJ |
