The irresponsible and partisan legislation pushed by House leadership, however, puts political games ahead of both saving innocent lives and America’s national security. It also does nothing to deliver critically needed humanitarian aid in Gaza and the West Bank. We must work in a bipartisan manner to ensure security assistance for Israel against Hamas, as we have consistently done during times of conflict. I’ll continue working together with Republicans and Democrats to achieve that goal and to deliver the necessary and adequate humanitarian aid to civilians in the Middle East.” Background: In her commitment to reaffirm Israel’s right to self-defense and protect innocent lives, Davids previously condemned the violence and urged the U.S. Department of State to continue working with the governments of Israel and Egypt to enable a steady supply of humanitarian assistance, which they later did. She also joined her colleagues in calling for increased support for Israel’s defense systems and continues pushing for a prompt humanitarian response in the West Bank and Gaza, both of which are included in the President’s emergency supplemental request alongside aid to Ukraine. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:01:09Z |
