Dem Senators Demand White House Align Assistance to Israel with National Interests

Democratic senators visited the White House to discuss the Israel-Hamas war and expressed support for additional assistance to Israel, but emphasized that it must be consistent with U.S. interests and values. They condemned Hamas for initiating the conflict and urged the Biden administration to provide transparent responses on how funds are being used. The senators also expressed concern about a resumption in fighting and called on President Biden to publicly address his strategy. The temporary cease-fire has been extended, but the truce is set to expire on November 30.
