The House of Representatives, however, rejected in a 422-6 vote on Thursday, to cut funding for the Israeli Cooperative Program - an agreement through which the US provides Israel with $500m to boost its missile programmes.
It is a separate allocation from the $3.3bn the US sends Israel as “security assistance” every year.
Absolutely not. She’s nuts.
She only voted this way as lip-service. There was absolutely no way Israel was gonna lose US funding of any amount. Not even 2% of the house was willing to vote this down.
Israel may not be in control of the US government, but they certainly seem to have absolute financial support regardless of their actions in the region.
