Israel Weapons Bill a Problem for Democrats

Punchbowl News: “Another week, another tricky vote on Israel for House Democrats.”

“The House Republican leadership will put a bill on the floor Wednesday that forces lawmakers to take a position on condemning President Joe Biden for pausing ‘certain arms transfers to Israel as Israel faces unprecedented threats.’”

“The GOP-drafted legislation calls on the Biden administration to allow previously approved arms transfers ‘to proceed quickly.’ And it also requires the administration to ‘utilize all congressionally appropriated funds for security assistance for Israel as Congress intended.’”

“Speaker Mike Johnson and GOP leaders have gotten somewhat adept at putting House Democrats in a bind over Israel as the war in Gaza continues.”
