House Narrowly Passes $3.3 Billion in Military Aid to Israel, Includes New Oversight Provision
T. Belman. What is going on here? Why did Republicans unanimously oppose this bill? And why did Democrats and J-Street support it. But that didn’t stop AIPAC from praising the “strong bipartisan support”. This article alludes to the reasons but doesn’t satisfy. I don’t like the bill because it supports the two state solution and makes no mention of the Taylor Force amendment which attacks financial support for terrorism.

The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday narrowly passed its fiscal year 2022 State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs Appropriations Act, providing funding for America’s overseas interests for the upcoming year.
The bill, which was advised by numerous pro-Israel organizations, includes $3.3 billion in security assistance to Israel as one of its key provisions as outlined in the 2016 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two countries.
The bill passed by a vote of 217-212 on partisan lines, opposed unanimously by Republicans.
