Democrats Split on Israel Aid as House Rejects Cut Amid Gaza War
TL;DR Summary
More than 100 House Democrats backed a measure to cut over $3 billion in U.S. aid to Israel, but the House defeated the proposal 314–104 (10 present). High-profile Democrats were split, with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Rep. Steny Hoyer voting against the amendment, while former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Katherine Clark supported it. The vote underscores a growing intra-party rift over Israel policy amid the Gaza war and broader Middle East tensions, as lawmakers balance humanitarian concerns with two-state and security considerations, even as Gaza casualties rise.
