House defeats amendment to cut Israel aid as Democrats split on vote

The U.S. House of Representatives voted 314-104 to defeat an amendment that would have blocked $3.3 billion in annual aid to Israel. 103 Democrats joined Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), the amendment's sole Republican sponsor, in supporting the measure, while 98 Democrats and 215 Republicans opposed it. The vote exposed a deep rift within the Democratic Party over U.S. support for Israel amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
