26 House Dems Blast Biden for Suspension of Israel Aid: 'Emboldens Our Mutual Enemies'

More than two dozen House Democrats led by Rep. Josh Gottheimer told national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Friday they were “deeply concerned” about President Biden’s decision to withhold military aid from Israel.

Gottheimer (D-NJ) and 25 of his fellow lawmakers wrote in a letter to Sullivan obtained by The Post that “withholding weapons shipments to Israel … only emboldens our mutual enemies, including Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and other Iranian-backed proxies.”

“Seven months after October 7, the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the end of the Holocaust, Iranian-backed terrorist proxies continue to fire rockets and mortars into Israel and at Americans from all directions,” they wrote. “At the same time, antisemitism is spreading globally like wildfire.”

Good for them, although it should have gotten more than 26 signatures. Along with Senate Democrats going on the record to oppose this, including Biden's campaign co-chair Chris Coons, Biden has created a sharp divide in his own party by allowing the radical Left to dictate policy on Israel.
