Progressive Lawmakers Scrutinize the United States Funding for Israel
U.S. security assistance to Israel is coming under increasing scrutiny from progressive lawmakers in Congress after this month’s bloody conflict in Gaza.
A cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, the militant group that controls the Gaza Strip, appears to be holding after more than 10 days of fighting that killed more than 240 Palestinians and a dozen Israelis.
But progressives are expected to keep pressing the concerns they voiced during the conflict, including questioning the once sacred cow of U.S. funding for Israel.
