Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Capitol Hill in Washington. (AP Photo\/Susan Walsh)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 7:12 AM PT \u2013 Tuesday, October 5, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has refused to fast-track additional Iron Dome defense system funding to Israel. While speaking on the Senate floor Monday, the Republican blocked a motion to consolidate debate down to just two-hours to expedite a vote. He warned the U.S. is not in any position to send another billion dollars overseas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m glad the United States has a strong bond with Israel, but the United States cannot give money that it does not have no matter how strong our relationship is,\u201d said Paul. \u201cThe United States is approaching $90 trillion in debt this fiscal year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The senator warned the House\u2019s eagerness last month to hastily approve sending money overseas runs in stark contrast with their hesitancy to fund America\u2019s own defense system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA day of reckoning is coming sooner than you think,\u201d Paul warned. \u201cInterest on the debt will be larger than what we spend on national defense in just a few years. If the debt weakens us to a point where we have difficulty funding our own military, how can the United States continue to be a reliable ally to Israel?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul suggested the best way for the U.S. to defend Israel is to get federal spending under control first.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGetting our fiscal House in order does mean we are failing to support Israel; far from it,\u201d he asserted. \u201cThe billion dollars under consideration today is on top of the more than $1.6 billion the U.S. has already given for Iron Dome and that\u2019s not all. The U.S. provides Israel with just under $4 billion in aid annually.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul said he ultimately hopes to build Israel strong enough to not need the U.S. for safety, in turn, allowing the&nbsp; U.S. to focus on funding its own national defense system.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/inflation-causes-dollar-tree-to-go-above-a-dollar\/\">Inflation Causes Dollar Tree To Go Above A Dollar<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
