Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) helped introduced \u2013 alongside U.S. Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ) \u2013 the Fortify Israel Act. This legislation would repurpose the $6 billion that President Biden recently authorized for delivery to Iran and instead deploy these funds to Israel in their fight to protect their families and defend their homeland.\n\nThis proposal would also redirect any current or future assets seized from Iran by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to financially support Israel.\n\n\u201cIn light of Hamas\u2019 barbaric attacks on the innocent people of Israel, it\u2019s critical that we deliver military and humanitarian aid to Israel. That\u2019s why I helped introduce the Fortify Israel Act to repurpose the $6 billion that President Biden recently authorized for Iran and instead redirect those funds to Israel,\u201d said Rep. Feenstra. \u201cIn Congress, I will continue to support policies that help Israel defeat Hamas and safeguard their national security.\u201d\n\nLegislative text can be found HERE.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"]], "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://feenstra.house.gov/media/press-releases/feenstra-helps-introduce-legislation-repurpose-billions-frozen-iranian-assets"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6370970513671637, "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"}
