Security assistance to Israel is vital, because Israel security is an imperative for America\u2019s security.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier in the week, a group of the House\u2019s most liberal Democrats objected to the new money being included in a broader continuing resolution, meant to keep the government open past the start of the new fiscal year and through Dec. 3. That jeopardized its passage because Republicans were united against the CR\u2019s inclusion of a clause to raise the country\u2019s debt limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5360\" height=\"3574\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/iron-dome-closeup.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/iron-dome-closeup.jpg.jpg 5360w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/iron-dome-closeup.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/iron-dome-closeup.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/iron-dome-closeup.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/iron-dome-closeup.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/iron-dome-closeup.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1366 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5360px) 100vw, 5360px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Iron Dome at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. (Army)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Republicans used the move to paint Democrats as anti-Israel, though Democrats said that was baseless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Democratic Party has come under an extraordinary, bizarre influence of a group of anti-semites who also hate the state of Israel,\u201d said South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson, the top Republican on the Middle East, North Africa, and Global Counterterrorism subcommittee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II, Israel had received $1.65 billion for Iron Dome through 2020, according to a Congressional Research Service report last year. President Joe Biden, defying calls from progressive lawmakers to reduce military aid to Israel, pledged to replenish Israeli Iron Dome systems used in May to counter rockets fired at the Jewish State from Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe cannot be talking only about Israelis\u2019 need for safety at a time when Palestinians are living under a violent apartheid system and are dying from what Human Rights Watch has said are war crimes,\u201d Michigan Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Congress\u2019s only Palestinian-American member, said in a floor speech Thursday. \u201cWe should also be talking about Palestinians\u2019 need for security from Israeli attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congressional Progressive Caucus Chairwoman Pramila Jayapal said Wednesday that the objections of progressive lawmakers to the latest Iron Dome funding might have been worked out if she had been forewarned the money would be in the initial CR. But she also acknowledged progressives have broader problems with the administration\u2019s Israel policy and said that lead Democrats should heed the shifting politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was not immediately clear whether the Senate will take up with the House-passed bill. Ahead of the House vote, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. declined to say, but suggested was an inevitability that Congress will approve the funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIron Dome is very important and it\u2019ll get done. That\u2019s all I\u2019m going to say,\u201d Schumer told Defense News on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House passed legislation overwhelmingly to provide
