• Antiwar.com

The House on Wednesday approved a resolution that expressed strong support for Israel, the first bill brought to the floor after Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) was elected as the chamber's new speaker.

The resolution passed in a vote of 412-10 and says that the US "stands" with Israel in the wake of the October 7 Hamas attack and as Israel is relentlessly bombing Gaza. The resolution reaffirmed the US commitment to providing military aid to Israel and said Congress will work to pass more.

The bill says the House "stands ready to assist Israel with emergency resupply and other security, diplomatic, and intelligence support." It also called for the US to continue enforcing sanctions on Iran and condemned the Hamas attack.
