House lines up vote to reaffirm support for Israel
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSenior House Republicans say a vote is scheduled for Thursday on a measure that reaffirms US support for Israel after the Obama administration refused to veto a United Nations resolution criticizing the Middle East ally on settlements.
Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Rep. Ed Royce, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, say in a statement that the administration “has lost all credibility when it comes to Israel.”
McCarthy and Royce called Washington’s UN Security Council abstention a “stunt” that “hurt our ally Israel and made peace in the region even more difficult to achieve.”
