Democrats Divided Over Amendment to Reduce U.S. Aid to Israel

Rep. Thomas Massie proposed an amendment to cut $3.3B in U.S. military aid to Israel from 2027 spending bill.
The amendment caused division among House Democrats.
Democrats are split: progressive members support it due to Israel's actions in Gaza, while centrist members oppose it over potential consequences.
Senior Democratic lawmakers warned the amendment could impact aid to Palestinians, education, and U.S.-Israel cooperation beyond military funding.
The amendment is set for a floor vote with expected debate amid ongoing tensions over U.S. support for Israel.
