- Hakeem Jeffries says he will oppose bid to cut off Israel aid
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced he will oppose an amendment to cut U.S. aid to Israel, a move that has divided Democrats. The amendment, introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie, could limit funds for initiatives like humanitarian aid and confront Hamas, but Jeffries argued it is overly broad and risks cutting aid to Palestinians in Gaza.
