More than 100 House Democrats voted to end US military aid to Israel in a symbolic but unsuccessful move that exposed widening divisions within the party. Although the amendment failed comfortably, the vote marked a significant shift in Democratic attitudes towards continued military support for Israel as the war in Gaza remains a deeply divisive issue.
The amendment, introduced by Republican Representative Thomas Massie, sought to block billions of dollars in military assistance to Israel. It received support from 103 Democrats and one Republican but was defeated by 314 votes to 104. Another 98 Democrats opposed the measure, while 10 voted present.
