US House defeats bid to cut off Israel aiddefeats bid to cut off Israel aid amid Democratic split

The US House of Representatives rejected a proposal to zero out aid to Israel, with House Democrats voting in a divided manner. More than half of House Democrats supported the measure, though leader Hakeem Jeffries opposed it to preserve support for Israel and the Palestinian people.

This outcome signals continued US military commitment to Israel despite growing internal Democratic pressure for policy change in the Middle East.
