House GOP Leadership Urges Senate To Consider Israel Security Assistance Support Act

WASHINGTON, DC - MAY 16: (L-R) Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA), Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) and Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) call on the Senate to take up the Israel Security Assistance Support Act during a news conference on the East Front of the U.S. Capitol on May 16, 2024 in Washington, DC. In response to President Joe Biden's pause in shipment of some weapons to deter Israel from launching a full-scale ground operation in the Gaza city of Rafah, the legislation would freeze the budgets for the U.S. Defense Secretary, Secretary of State and National Security Council if the weapons are not delivered.
