Progressive Caucus Leader Urges Yes Vote on Amendment to End US Military Aid to Israel
Following House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ opposition to an amendment ending US military aid to Israel, Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Greg Casar urged colleagues to support the measure, arguing that the American public desires an end to US tax dollars subsidizing Israel’s military actions. Casar highlighted the significant civilian casualties in Gaza and regional destabilization resulting from the US-backed war, and pointed to growing public opposition to military aid for Israel, particularly among Democrats. This call to action by the CPC signifies a push for the Democratic Party to adopt a new approach towards Israel and Palestine that prioritizes the safety and dignity of all civilians.
