Former Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling out the U.S.–Israel relationship after the Israeli currency reached a major milestone recently. The Israeli shekel has hit its strongest level against the U.S. dollar in over 30 years, breaking through the three-shekel-per-dollar mark for the first time since October 1995. The development has renewed debate over how much American money flows to Israel each year, and whether that arrangement still makes sense.
Greene, who left Congress in January 2026 after a bitter public split with President Donald Trump, reacted to the news on X. She pointed out that she had tried to pass an amendment to cut American funding for Israel, and that only five other members of Congress voted with her. The post drew significant attention online, partly because Greene had spent much of 2025 becoming one of the most vocal Republican critics of the U.S.-Israel relationship.
