The White House wants Democrats in the House to vote against a Republican bill denouncing President Joe Biden for withholding weapons from Israel.
The White House is hoping to Democrat defections on the Israel Security Assistance Support Act, which is being voted Wednesday. The legislation, drafted by the House Republican leadership, calls on the Biden administration to allow previously approved arms transfers to proceed quickly and requires the administration to utilize all appropriated funds for Israel as Congress intended, Punchbowl News reported.
