House Democratic Leader Says He Will Oppose Amendment to Cut Israel Aid

The amendment is part of the fiscal 2027 State Department spending bill now under consideration.

Democrats have split over the measure, with some supporting the funding cutoff and others opposing it. The amendment would end U.S. assistance to Israel through the State Department appropriations process.

Jeffries stated his opposition to the amendment in comments reported by Politico. The statement marks his public stance on the funding provision ahead of further legislative action. No timeline for a vote on the amendment was provided in the reports.
