Psaki: ‘No plans’ to change security assistance to Israel, despite pressure from the left
Fox News
Press secretary Jen Psaki said that the White House has “no plans” to alter security assistance to Israel, as progressives came down hard against a $735 million arms sale to the Jewish state and the billions allotted in foreign aid each year.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., introduced a resolution Thursday to force a vote on whether to block the weapons sale to Israel, and other Squad members, and Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., introduced similar legislation in the House. "We must also take a hard look at nearly $4 billion a year in military aid to Israel," Sanders wrote in a tweet. Psaki also said that the U.S. made no concessions in the cease-fire agreed to by Israel and Gaza and did not agree to replenish the Iron Dome, Israel’s defense system, as a part of the deal but rather did so because the system saved "hundreds of lives."More Related News
