๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ A strong Israel makes America more secure.

Today, vital funding for Iron Dome and U.S.-Israel cooperation on missile defense, anti-tunnel technology, and counter-drone technology was approved by the House Appropriations Committee in its annual @DeptofDefense funding bill.
Bipartisan leaders in Congress and the Biden admin came together to strengthen and expand the U.S.-Israel relationship.

We applaud the work of @BettyMcCollum04 @KenCalvert @rosadelauro @RepKayGranger @AppropsDems @HouseAppropsGOP to secure funding for these pro-Israel programs:
๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ $500 million for U.S.-Israel missile defense cooperation.

Collaboration on lifesaving missile defense programs like Iron Dome, Davidโ€™s Sling and Arrow keeps Americans and Israelis safe, grows our economy, and creates American jobs.
๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ $47.5M for U.S.-Israel anti-tunnel technology cooperation.

Israeli expertise in anti-tunnel technology protects U.S. forces deployed across the globe, keeps Israelis safe & provides important homeland security benefits.
๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ $25M for U.S.-Israel counter-unmanned aerial systems (UAS) cooperation.

Israeli innovation in counter-drone technology helps secure Americans at home and prevent attacks against our citizens abroad.

Today, the House Appropriations Committee fully funded $3.3 billion in security assistance to Israel. The Committeeโ€™s appropriation, with no added political conditions, reflects the strong bipartisan commitment for Israel's security in Congress and the Biden administration.
Full $3.3 billion in U.S. security assistance to Israel, as agreed to in the 2016 MOU.

A strong Israel makes America more secure. This critical aid helps ensure our ally has the resources needed to defend itself by itself in the worldโ€™s most dangerous region.

Why are those in Congress who claim to support Palestinian rights silent when the Palestinian Authority denies Palestiniansโ€™ rights?

Do they only speak out if they can blame Israel?

"The unprecedented clampdown has mostly targeted activists and candidates associated with the Dahlan-affiliated Al-Mustaqbal list for the parliamentary election that was supposed to take place on May 22."

90,000 Palestinians should have received their first COVID vaccine last weekend, but the Palestinian Authority rejected the vaccines from Israel.

The Health Minister said they could vaccinate 60,000 per day.

These anti-Israel policies hurt Palestinians.

We oppose @BettyMcCollum04โ€™s latest anti-Israel bill, which would condition aid to Israel, undermine U.S. interests and make peace less likely.

We agree with @POTUS @JoeBiden: Cuts or conditions on aid to Israel would be "irresponsible," "outrageous" and a "gigantic mistake."
Congress endorsed @POTUS44โ€™s 10yr commitment to Israel of full security assistance without added political restrictions. This policy has broad bipartisan support & is good for America.

Congress must reject Rep. McCollum's attempt to reverse this long-standing bipartisan policy.
Unlike other allies, Israel insists on defending itself by itself, relying on America only to ensure it has the means to do so.

A strong Israel advances our interestsโ€”including deterring war and promoting peace. Weakening Israel weakens us.

โ€œWe assess that #Iran remains interested in developing networks [to attack Americans] inside the United States โ€” an objective it has pursued for more than a decade.โ€ @ODNIgov

U.S. sanctions increase our diplomatic leverage and hold Iran accountable for its actions.
โ€œ#Iranโ€™s expertise and willingness to conduct aggressive cyber operations make it a significant threat to the security of US and allied networks and data.โ€ @ODNIgov
