Jeffries opposes Massie bid to eliminate US aid to Israel
The amendment “would restrict our country’s ability to confront Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations in the region who are sworn enemies of both the United States and Israel,” the House minority leader said
Assessment
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has publicly opposed Representative Thomas Massie's amendment to cut U.S. aid to Israel, framing the proposal as a threat to American national security. Jeffries argues the aid is essential for confronting groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. The move signals a bipartisan divide on Israel funding, with leadership from both parties likely to influence the amendment's fate in the House.
