Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer House Resolution 7217, the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2024. This bill provides $17.6 billion in emergency supplemental appropriations, which will provide needed military assistance to America's great ally Israel and support U.S. military forces operating in the region.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 7217, a bill that will provide additional support for Israel. I want to thank Chairman Calvert for his leadership on this bill.
Nearly four months ago, we watched Hamas brutally attack the Israeli people. Unfortunately, the situation in the region has only gotten worse.
Israel, and now U.S. Forces, have been attacked by terrorist groups backed by Iran. Funding is needed to address the growing threats we face.
Ms. Speaker, I rise today in support of this short-term continuing resolution.
While we have made progress in our efforts to finish Fiscal Year 2024 bills, Congress has much more work to do.
More time is needed to negotiate bills both sides can support.
The House and Senate took very different approaches to this year's bills, and finding common ground will not be easy.
But now that the Speaker has negotiated a topline, we can move forward.
