The House Wednesday shot down an amendment to a State Department spending bill that would have blocked billions in U.S. military aid to Israel, but a substantial number of Democrats voted to cut off Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war machine.
The chamber defeated Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie’s amendment, 104-314, which would have stripped out $3.3 billion proposed for an Israeli security aid account in the chamber’s fiscal 2027 National Security-State appropriations measure. Among Democrats, 103 supported the amendment, 98 opposed it and 10 voted present. Massie was the lone Republican to support the amendment.
