The USA, which has expressed its support for Israel on every platform, has made another move. A bill containing a $14.3 billion aid package for Israel was presented to the US House of Representatives by Republicans.
Israel continues to bomb Gaza uninterruptedly since October 7.
The biggest support for Israel, which has blockaded Gaza and turned it into an open-air prison, comes from the USA.
The USA expresses its support for Israel at every opportunity and on every platform.
President Joe Biden even went to Israel, hugged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and posed in support of the press.
US officials, who did not even accept Israel’s attack on a hospital, knocked on the door of the Senate for an aid package.
$14.3 billion support request
Republicans shared with the public the bill to send $14.3 billion in aid to Israel to provide the funds it needs in its “war against Hamas.”
Within the scope of this aid, it is envisaged that 4 billion dollars will be allocated for Israel’s “Iron Dome” and “David Sling” air defense systems, and 1.2 billion dollars will be allocated for the “Iron Beam” air defense system.
The bill will be discussed today
It is also proposed to cut the aid from funding for the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
The bill is expected to be discussed in the subcommittee of the House of Representatives today.
Criticism came to the bill
On the other hand, White House Spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre criticized the bill in her written statement.
Arguing that the bill’s articles “undermine” the White House’s budget proposal, Jean-Pierre said, “Politicizing our national interests is a hopeless attempt.”
In his statement, US Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Ben Cardin described the cutoff of IRS funding for the bill as a “poison pill”.
The action attracted attention
The aid requested for Israel in the USA caused protests. During the action held in the Senate, it was seen that some protesters who did not approve of the aid painted their arms with red paint and wrote Gaza.
Those moments went down in history…
