100+ House Democrats Vote To Cut Israel Aid In Growing Party Split, Measure Fails
Pelosi and 103 Democrats backed a Thomas Massie amendment to cut nearly $3.3 billion in Israel military aid, deepening party divisions.
- On Wednesday, 103 House Democrats and Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie voted to strip $3.3 billion in assistance from Israel, though the amendment failed in a 314-104 vote.
- The vote reflects a deepening rift between a progressive wing pushing to condition Israel aid and center-left Democrats reluctant to unwind a decades-long alliance.
- Minority Whip Katherine Clark and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi backed the measure, while House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar opposed it, citing humanitarian concerns.
- Opponents cited the amendment's lack of carveouts for non-military funding, warning it would restrict humanitarian aid and U.S. Embassy operations; Representative Brad Sherman criticized the measure.
- The shift beyond the progressive flank into established leadership ranks could shape how Democrats approach future Israel-related votes ahead of the 2026 midterms, as Jeffries has signaled openness to reassessing the broader U.S.-Israel relationship.
