US Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib says that she will vote for an amendment in the House to block $3.3 billion in military funding for Israel.

In a social media post on X, she has said: “This week, the House will vote on an amendment that would block $3.3 billion in military funding for the Israeli apartheid regime. I will vote yes.”

“We should not spend another cent arming a military that is committing genocide in Palestine, ethnically cleansing Lebanon, and committing war crimes in Iran,” she adds.

She further says that a majority of Americans and a supermajority of Democrats “support ending military aid to Israel. It’s time their representatives listened”.
