Becca Balint to Vote ‘NO’ on Republican’s Israel-Only Supplemental Funding 2024-02-06 2024 2024-02 Democrat House VT Becca Balint B001318 balint.house.gov balint https://balint.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 scraper Speaker Johnson follows Trump Demands; Brings Bill to Floor Without Humanitarian Aid or Ukraine Funding Washington, D.C - Rep. Becca Balint (VT-AL) issued the following statement on her opposition to HR 7217, the Israel-only supplemental funding bill: “Speaker Johnson’s Israel-only supplemental does nothing to aid the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, bring security to the region or protect Ukrainian sovereignty. I have long been a strong advocate for Israel’s right to exist and to defend itself, within the bounds of international law. But I cannot support any aid package that does not immediately surge robust humanitarian assistance to the millions of Palestinian families suffering in Gaza. As President Biden made clear today, this is a cheap political ploy from Republicans that would be dead on arrival in the White House. “Congress must act to support democratic allies around the world. This is an urgent matter of delivering resources and relief to real people suffering. However, Republicans have chosen to elevate this piece of standalone legislation, again showing their willingness to hand Putin a strategic win and ignore the dire crisis in Gaza. I will vote “no” on this type of cynical legislation until a comprehensive aid package is brought to the floor.” ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:21:00Z
