Pelosi and 56 House Democrats Urge Biden to Halt Arms Sales to Israel, Complicating Passage of Senate Aid Bill
-
Nancy Pelosi signed a letter urging Biden to halt arms sales to Israel following an attack on aid workers, marking a shift in her stance.
-
The number of House Democrats signing the letter has grown to 56 as of Monday, showing increasing Democratic frustration with Israel.
-
The anger over the attack on aid workers could complicate the passage of a Senate bill bundling aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
-
Some Democrats already opposed the bill due to the Israel assistance, and that number may now grow after the attack.
-
Getting the aid bill passed will be harder now that both Republicans and Democrats have issues with parts of it, further delaying support for Ukraine.
