The supplemental also includes funding to evacuate Americans out of Israel.\n\nThe supplemental is paid for by cutting an equal amount of money from the IRS, which was increased by Biden\u2019s so-called \u201cInflation Reduction Act\u201d last year.\n\nThe bill passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 226-196.\n\n\u201cAmerica must stand with Israel and its right to defend itself following the heinous attacks by Hamas terrorists last month. I believe if we are going to authorize new spending, we also need to find a way to pay for it and that is exactly what this supplemental does by redirecting money away from Biden\u2019s bloated IRS,\u201d said Congressman Josh Brecheen.\n\n\u201cIsrael is surrounded by terrorist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthi rebels\u2014all backed by Iran\u2014who want to wipe it off the map. This supplemental is needed so Israel, our greatest ally in the Middle East, can properly defend itself,\u201d concluded Brecheen.\n\nEarlier this week, Congressman Brecheen also supported the following pro-Israel bills, which passed the House of Representatives:\n\nH. RES. 559 \u2013 \u201cDeclaring it is the policy of the United States that a nuclear Islamic Republic of Iran is not acceptable\u201d\n\nH.R. 340 \u2013 \u201cTo impose sanctions with respect to foreign support for terrorist organizations, including Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad\u201d\n\nH. RES. 798 \u2013 \u201cCondemning the support of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations at institutions of higher education, which may lead to the creation of a hostile environment for Jewish students, faculty, and staff\u201d\n\nH. RES. 599 \u2013 \u201cUrging the European Union to designate Hizballah in its entirety as a terrorist organization\u201d *Adopted by voice\n\nH.R. 3266 \u2013 \u201cTo require the Secretary of State to submit annual reports reviewing the curriculum used by the Palestinian Authority\u201d *Adopted by voice", 1, "2026-04-07T14:30:38Z", "2026-04-07T14:34:08Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://brecheen.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=228"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9842379949986935, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
