Senate Unanimously Supports Israel in Conflict with Hamas
TL;DR
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has announced that Sen. Rand Paul is the only senator holding out on a resolution affirming U.S. support for Israel, despite overwhelming bipartisan support from the other 99 senators. The resolution, co-sponsored by Schumer, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, Sen. Ben Cardin, and Sen. Jim Risch, expresses solidarity with Israel and opposition to Hamas. Paul has previously delayed funding for Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system and placed a hold on a foreign aid package, arguing for limited and offsetting aid to countries hostile to Israeli and U.S. interests.
