Enacting it would hamstring our humanitarian efforts in the region by limiting funding for programs that support Palestinian economic development and peacebuilding efforts between Israelis and Palestinians. It would also weaken our ability to combat Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations that threaten Americans and our allies. “At the same time, I have deep concerns about the path Prime Minister Netanyahu continues to pursue that undermines the long term security objectives of Israel and the United States. This path won’t lead to peace, only to more war and instability. The United States must stand for security and self-determination for Israelis and Palestinians alike. “I voted present today because I cannot support this amendment as written but also cannot support the disproportionate, extreme policies of the Netanyahu government." | 1 | 2026-07-17T07:15:58Z | 2026-07-17T07:17:05Z |
