President Joe Biden on Tuesday said his administration would ask Congress to fund security assistance for Israel, days after the start of a bloody conflict that has already claimed more than 1,000 lives.
“When Congress returns, we’re going to ask them to take urgent action to fund the national security requirements of our critical partners,” he said. “This is not about party or politics. It’s about the security of our world.”
The remarks come as lawmakers from both parties weigh supplemental funding for Israel.
