"Lawmakers Split on Condemning Iran's Attack as Israel Faces Drone and Missile Threat"

Progressive House Democrats are urging their colleagues to vote against a $26 billion aid package for Israel, aiming to send a message to President Biden about their discontent over his support for Israel's actions in Gaza. They want to see limits on offensive weapons to prevent civilian casualties and view the upcoming vote as a defining moment akin to past decisions on military action. While the bill is expected to pass, the significant Democratic opposition would signal a departure from the traditional bipartisan support for Israel and highlight divisions within the party over the conflict in Gaza.
