How one moderate Democratic leader is bracing for Israel politics in the next Congress

Rep. Brad Schneider, leader of the House’s New Democrat Coalition, is examining Democratic divisions over Israel amid a failed Republican amendment to cut U.S. aid to Israel, which drew support from over 100 House Democrats. Progressives framed the vote as a breakthrough reflecting discontent with Israel’s policies toward Palestine and the Gaza war, while Schneider advocates for party unity on Middle East issues. The next Congress will see a stronger Israel-critical bloc among House Democrats.
