House Democrats attempt to appease party base in voting for resolution cutting off aid to Israel

Over 100 House Democrats, nearly half the caucus, voted to cut off U.S. aid to Israel, a significant shift indicating growing disillusionment within the party. This included several Democrats previously endorsed by AIPAC, such as Reps. Jake Auchincloss and Glenn Ivey, suggesting mainstream members are wary of primary challenges from the left. AIPAC expressed disappointment, stating, "We are deeply appreciative of the 314 Republicans and Democrats who voted to reject Thomas Massie’s latest anti-Israel effort and are disappointed by the 103 Democrats who voted with Massie to weaken America and our ally Israel." Despite this, most Democrats in competitive districts maintained support for Israel. The vote highlights Israel's increasingly toxic political standing within the Democratic Party, prompting calls for Israel to repair its relationship with Democrats to preserve bipartisan support and its long-term security.
