Details of\u200d the legislation \u2063are \u2062yet to be disclosed, but it signifies a shift in lawmakers\u2019 \u200dapproach to aiding Israel. The\u2062 Senate\u2019s previous aid bill faced challenges in the House,\u2063 prompting \u2064a search for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/israeli-lawmaker-defies-hamas-threats-promises-to-hold-jerusalem-day-flag-march\/\" title=\"Israeli Lawmaker Defies Hamas Threats, Promises To Hold Jerusalem Day Flag March\">alternate solutions<\/a>. The recent \u2064attack by Iran has sparked renewed support for Israel among U.S. \u200dlawmakers.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Congress will advance legislation supporting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Israel<\/a> following an attack by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Iran<\/a> over the weekend, top House leaders announced on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The House will adjust its previously determined schedule to include votes on legislation \u201cthat supports our ally Israel and holds Iran and its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/heres-how-congress-is-responding-to-irans-attack-on-israel\/\" title=\"Check Out Congress's Reaction to Iran's Assault on Israel\">terrorist proxies accountable<\/a>,\u201d House Majority Leader <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/steve-scalise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Steve Scalise\">Steve Scalise<\/a> (R-LA) said in a statement. It\u2019s not clear what the legislation will entail, but it marks a change in course for lawmakers as they have disagreed for months on how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/joe-biden-will-visit-texas-on-friday-following-deep-freeze-that-left-millions-without-power\/\" title=\"Joe Biden Will Visit Texas On Friday Following Deep Freeze That Left Millions Without Power\">provide aid<\/a> to Israel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe House of Representatives stands strongly with Israel, and there must be consequences for this unprovoked attack,\u201d Scalise said. \u201cMore details on the legislative items to be considered will be forthcoming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Senate passed legislation in February seeking to provide aid to foreign allies such as Israel and Ukraine, although the bill has been deemed \u201cdead on arrival\u201d in the House by top Republican leaders because of its lack of U.S. border provisions. Instead, lawmakers have sought to move forward with a different path, although no progress has been made. <\/p>\n<p>However, that now may change after Iran\u2019s attack on Saturday, which has prompted several U.S. lawmakers to share messages of support for Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Tehran launched hundreds of drones and missiles from within its borders in an attack in response to an Israeli airstrike earlier this month that killed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/plan-to-rename-confederate-base-names-moves-forward\/\" title=\"Plan To Rename Confederate Base Names Moves Forward\">senior military leader<\/a>, according to Israel\u2019s military. Iran\u2019s attack is in progress as of Saturday evening.<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption>Interceptors missiles are launched into the sky early Sunday, April 14, 2024, in Jerusalem.

Roger Wicker (R-MI), the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said, \u201cThis is the moment for the United States to show we stand together with our allies. Our shared enemies, including Iran and their proxies, need to know our commitment is unwavering. We must join with Israel to ensure that Iran\u2019s aggression is met with resolute action and resounding strength.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s attack is notable because it originated from within Iran\u2019s borders. Iran has spent decades training and supporting various militias throughout the Middle East that it uses to attack Israel, so it doesn\u2019t have to itself.<\/p>\n<p>Its axis of militias includes Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, militias in Iraq and Syria, and the Houthis in Yemen. All of these groups have attacked Israel or U.S. interests in the Middle East since Hamas\u2019s Oct. 7 attack in Israel that prompted this war.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. has desperately sought, since October, to prevent a broader, regional conflict. But, Iran\u2019s attack threatens to bring several other countries into this conflict. President Joe Biden urged Tehran not to carry out the attack on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just met with my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-refuses-to-denounce-antifa-despite-group-continuing-to-wreak-havoc-across-u-s\/\" title=\"White House refuses to denounce Antifa despite group continuing to wreak havoc across U.S.\">national security team<\/a> for an update on Iran\u2019s attacks against Israel,\u201d Biden added on X on Saturday. \u201cOur commitment to Israel\u2019s security against threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS\/status\/1779289588890010044\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Several U.S. officials have publicly shared their support for Israel and said they would help defend the U.S. ally.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli leaders have threatened to retaliate to an Iranian attack, though it\u2019s unclear what a response could entail.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenSchumer\/status\/1779271515277504873\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top House leaders revealed plans to advance legislation in support of Israel after an Iranian attack last weekend.
