Tony Gonzales (R., Texas),\u201d the Free Beacon <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/national-security\/house-dems-reject-measure-to-boost-israeli-security-aid\/\">reported<\/a>. \u201cThe measure would have paved the way for Israel to receive a tranche of emergency dollars specifically for missile defense, which has proven critical as Iranian-backed terror groups Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad target Israeli citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The measure came after House Democrats blocked a push by Republicans to consider legislation that would lodge sanctions against Hamas, which is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), amid the recent terrorist attacks that they have launched against Israel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocrats blocked a bid to bring the Palestinian International Terrorism Support Prevention Act up for consideration in a 217-209 vote along party lines,\u201d Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/house-democrats-block-bill-sanctioning-hamas-financial-supporters\">reported<\/a> earlier this week. \u201cThe bill, introduced by Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., would impose sanctions on foreign entities known to have provided financial assistance to Hamas, among other measures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Late on Thursday afternoon, President Joe Biden announced that Israel and Hamas had reached a ceasefire, that he believed that Israel had a right to defend itself from terrorist attacks, and that his administration would help&nbsp;replenish Israel\u2019s Iron Dome missiles, which Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) had been aggressively pushing over the past week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI assured him of my full support to replenish Israel\u2019s Iron Dome system to ensure its defenses and security in the future,\u201d Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/breaking-news\/biden-us-will-replenish-iron-dome-amid-ceasefire-668721\">said<\/a> of his talk with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will do this in full partnership with the Palestinian Authority, not Hamas, the PA, in a manner that does not permit Hamas to restock its military arsenal,\u201d Biden said. \u201cThe U.S. fully supports Israel\u2019s right to protect itself against indiscriminate rocket attacks from Hamas and other Gaza terror groups that have taken the lives of innocent civilians in Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
