Hinson Works to Force Biden to Send Military Aid to Israel
May 16, 2024
WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (R-IA-02) is a co-sponsor of the Israel Security Assistance Support Act, legislation requiring President Biden to deliver Congressionally approved military aid to Israel. This key national security legislation passed the House with bipartisan support today. "President Biden hit a new low in his failed presidency when he withheld Congressionally approved lethal military aid to Israel, caving to the radical Left wing of his party and abandoning our staunchest ally in the Middle East. This legislation will require Biden to send Israel lethal military aid so they can defend themselves and defeat barbaric Hamas terrorists who are backed by Iran. While Biden sides with terrorists, I will always stand with Israel." - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson Background: President Biden’s efforts to withhold weapons, without informing Congress, and threats to hold additional shipments if Israel goes into Rafah, directly disregard the will of the American people. The Israel Security Assistance Support Act reaffirms Israel's right to self-defense and enforces a strict deadline of 15 days to deliver currently withheld defense articles and services, and 30 days for the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State to obligate funds appropriated for assistance to Israel. ### |
