Pelosi Supports Amendment to Cut $3.3B in Military Aid to Israel
Nancy Pelosi announced she will vote in favor of the Massie Amendment, which would cut $3.3 billion in U.S. military aid to Israel. The amendment is expected to fail but puts every member on record.
Representative Nancy Pelosi has announced her support for the Massie Amendment, a legislative measure that would reduce U.S. military assistance to Israel by $3.3 billion. This marks a significant shift for Pelosi, historically one of Congress's most steadfast supporters of Israel.
In her statement, Pelosi cited the need for a policy change and called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end what she described as a "perpetual cycle of war." The amendment is widely expected to fail, but it forces every member of Congress to take a public position on the issue.
