GOP rep pushes to send more fighters to Israel in defense bill
Fox News
Florida Republican lawmaker Rep. Cory Mills is pushing for an amendment to this year's National Defense Authorization Act that would send more F-15 and F-35 fighter jets to Israel.
The amendment, No. 118, would also require the secretary of defense to provide a report to Congress on the progress and delivery schedule of shipments of the fighters no later than 180 days after this year's NDAA is enacted. It would also require that the report outline additional ways the production rate of the aircraft could be improved. Michael Lee is a writer at Fox News. Follow him on Twitter @UAMichaelLee
The push comes as House Republicans have sought dozens of amendments to the annual "must-pass" defense budget, including an effort to roll back what some have called "woke" policies in the military. Speaking to reporters Wednesday, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., said House Republicans would be offering more than 200 amendments to tackle the "woke training" and ensure the military stands ready to stand up to adversaries such as China.
