"House Fails to Pass $17.6 Billion Israel Aid Bill"

The US House of Representatives failed to pass a standalone aid bill for Israel, as the measure did not receive the necessary two-thirds majority for expedited consideration. The aid package, which included $1 billion for replenishing Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system, was initially part of a larger government funding bill but was removed due to progressive Democrats' objections. This setback highlights the ongoing debate within Congress over foreign policy and the legislative process for allocating aid to foreign countries.
