House to vote on a resolution of support for Israel in the wake of Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s comments.
In a sign that Republicans are trying to put Democrats in a tough spot with this vote, Scalise tweeted: “It should be an easy vote. Will Dems stand with our ally or capitulate to the anti-Semitic radicals in their party?” Top House Democrats rebuked the Congressional Progressive Caucus chair’s comments from this past weekend that “Israel is a racist state,” which she sought to walk back on Sunday.
This comes ahead of Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s visit to the White House Tuesday and his address to a joint meeting of Congress a day later, which some progressives have said they’ll skip, citing concerns about human rights. House progressives have been vocal about their opposition to Israeli settlements in the West Bank and the US sponsorship of Israel’s Iron Dome defense system.
