House Passes Controversial Bill to Force Weapons Delivery to Israel

Legislation seeks to overturn Biden's pause on bomb shipments, highlighting deep partisan divides over Israel-Hamas conflict

  • The House approved the bill with a 224-187 vote, with 16 Democrats supporting it and three Republicans opposing.
  • The bill aims to compel the Biden administration to deliver 3,500 bombs to Israel, paused due to concerns over civilian casualties in Rafah.
  • Democratic leaders argue the bill is a political maneuver, while Republicans insist it is crucial for Israel's defense.
  • The Biden administration has threatened to veto the bill, and the Democratic-controlled Senate is unlikely to consider it.
  • The conflict has intensified divisions within the Democratic Party, with moderates and progressives clashing over U.S. support for Israel.
