In its first legislative act under newly elevated Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., the House on Wednesday overwhelmingly adopted a symbolic resolution voicing support for Israel in its war against Hamas.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle felt it was important to be seen offering their support for Israel in its campaign against Hamas, which the U.S. and European Union have designated as a terrorist organization.
The resolution was adopted, 412-10, with nine Democrats and one Republican opposed. Six Democrats voted present.
