Democrats divided over Israel aid as Gaza war sparks intra-party rift

Massie’s amendment to end U.S. aid to Israel, with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries opposing and Minority Whip Katherine Clark supporting, highlighting a key intra-party rift as public opinion shifts toward Palestinians; the measure would bar funding in the national security and State Department appropriations and would cut about $3.3 billion in security aid, though it is unlikely to pass.
