The House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the US Congress, rejected a measure to halt the annual $3.3 billion military aid to Israel. The measure, introduced by Republican Representative Thomas Massie, received 104 'yes' votes against 314 'no' votes.

Massie's amendment targeted an existing agreement clause that merges the two countries' military supply chains. The 104 members voting 'yes' marked the highest level of support the anti-military-aid-to-Israel coalition has ever recorded in Congress.
The vote took place as the current $38 billion ten-year aid agreement between the US and Israel nears its expiration in 2028. The two governments have already begun negotiations on a new 'partnership' model to replace the agreement.
The 104 votes, unthinkable a decade ago, signal that the consensus underpinning support for Israel is eroding from the fringes of both parties, despite the overwhelming 3-to-1 rejection that still shows strong backing for Israel in the House. This is prompting Israel to accelerate efforts to transform the aid framework into a partnership model before the next vote.
