Michigan Republican Congressman John James says he traveled with the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee for an update on the war between Israel and Hamas.
Officials estimate more than 11-thousand Palestinian civilians have been killed since Israel began its siege of Gaza…following Hamas’ deadly attack in southern Israel last month.
James, a military veteran, said in a social media post from Israel that the country and the U.S. remain staunch allies.
“Israel has a right to defend itself.”
James voted to send more than 14 billion dollars to Israel…a House Republican plan paid for by re-allocating money away from the IRS.
President Biden says he will veto a stand-alone bill only covering aid for Israel, preferring a supplemental budget package that includes funding for Israel, Ukraine, the U.S. border and other items.
