House Republican introduces 'pro-Israel' legislative package amid tensions with Palestinian militants in Gaza

House Republicans, led by Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., introduced two "pro-Israel" bills on Friday amid heighten tensions between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza.

House Resolution 3393, dubbed the U.S.-Israel Cooperation Expansion Act, would cultivate greater relations with Israel, America's closest ally in the Middle East, by making the official policy of the United States to support bilateral law enforcement training between the two nations.

Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, more than 1,000 law enforcement officers and first responders have traveled to Israel to participate in joint training exercises on how to combat terrorism, manage mass causality situations and mitigate other security events, Gimenez’s office notes.
