The House is set to vote on a bill to block the Biden administration from halting offensive aid shipments to Israel.
The House of Representatives is set to vote on a bill to stop President Biden from blocking offensive weapons aid to Israel on Thursday. Biden has faced bipartisan backlash for withholding a bomb shipment from Israel over fears it could be used in Rafah, as well as for warning Israel that the U.S. would not send offensive weapons if they were used on population centers in the southern Gaza Strip.
It would also withhold funding from the secretary of defense, secretary of state and the National Security Council if there was any delay in weapons aid. Democrat leaders in the House and White House are actively opposing the bill, but it’s expected to have at least a few supporters on the left. One House Democrat aide told Fox News Digital they anticipate roughly 10 left-wing lawmakers to join Republicans in supporting the bill.
House Minority Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., said Wednesday morning, 'We know this is a political sham bill. And really, when you look at this bill, they are looking to , State Department, the NSC, in this time of global conflict. It's shameful.'
