Hudson. \u201cToday and everyday, I will stand with Israel and continue to pray for the innocent victims and their families.\u201d\n\nThe Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act ensures American military readiness by replenishing domestic defense stockpiles and bolstering Israel\u2019s defensive capabilities including the Iron Dome and stockpiles of munitions. In addition, the legislation supports American citizens and personnel by increasing our security presence at the U.S. Embassy and providing resources to evacuate U.S. citizens.\n\nThe Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act is fully offset by recisions from President Biden's Inflation \"Expansion\" Act of 2022, specifically the enhanced funding for the IRS.
