It is hard to tell who is friend and who is foe in the eyes of this administration. \r\r\u201cThe cornerstone of our nation\u2019s foreign policy must be that our allies trust us and our enemies fear us. These reports, however, send a clear message that longstanding relationships with allies abroad can no longer be fully trusted. \r\r\u201cThe Obama administration must issue a clear response as to whether or not they discussed or drafted sanctions against Israel.\u201d\r\r###\r\r\n    \r\n  \r\n  \r\n  \r\n    \r\n      f \r\n      t \r\n      #\r\n      e", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://holding.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=152"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9088891092687845, "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"}
