The entire Mass. House delegation voted to cut Israel aid. Here’s what they said.
🗞️ In-depth summary
The entire Massachusetts House delegation joined over half of House Democrats in voting to strip $3.3 billion in U.S. aid from Israel. This vote, though unsuccessful in attaching the amendment to a broader national security spending bill (104-314), signals a significant shift in bipartisan support for Israel following the Gaza war.
- Congressman Jake Auchincloss stated, "there must be consequences for Trump and Netanyahu."
- Congresswoman Katherine Clark explained her 'yes' vote was because "we must change course" from the current status quo.
- Congressman Seth Moulton emphasized, "We cannot continue to condone Netanyahu’s actions that are against our moral conscience."
- Congresswoman Lori Trahan asserted, "The status quo is unsustainable. Prime Minister Netanyahu has used American military assistance funding to carry out atrocities in Gaza."
- Congressman Jim McGovern, along with Representatives Ayanna Pressley and Stephen Lynch, issued a joint statement arguing that "For decades, U.S. taxpayers have funded Israeli military operations that have killed civilians & caused humanitarian catastrophes. Enough already."
- Congressman Richard Neal stated, "What we are seeing in the Middle East is not sustainable and demands a new path grounded in peace, security, and the right to self-determination for all."
