The House today sent a powerful and concrete message that America stands with our ally Israel as it battles Iranian aggression and its terrorist proxies.

We commend the strong bipartisan majority in the House of Representatives that adopted the historic $14.3 billion emergency supplemental security assistance for Israel.  We applaud the leadership of Speaker Johnson and Democratic Leader Jeffries in gaining passage of the measure.  We also express our appreciation to the Biden Administration for originally proposing the emergency supplemental.  

In addition to the critical funding, the House adopted important provisions to combat the Iranian nuclear threat and intensify sanctions against Hamas and other Iranian terrorist proxies. Importantly, the legislation includes the Stop Harboring Iranian Petroleum Act to address Iranian oil exports to China.

We urge the Senate to expeditiously act to ensure that this urgent legislation is sent to the President to be signed into law.
