Remarks
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer House Resolution 8034, the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2024. This bill provides $26.38 billion to fortify Americaâs support of our Israeli allies and defend our troops in the region.
It is part of a larger package of three security supplemental appropriations acts before us for Israel, Ukraine, and the Indo-Pacific. All three are essential to deter our adversaries.
There are moments where action is optional. A convenience but not a necessity. A choice. This is not one of those moments.
The world is in chaos, Americans have been killed, and our allies and partners are dying on the front lines every day.
Today’s rule makes in order a series of three critical security supplemental bills, Mr. Speaker, paired with a fourth bill covering other high-priority national security matters. Collectively, these bills represent the commitment to move critical and much-needed security assistance funding for America’s friends and partners.
