Congressmen from the Democratic Party of the United States in the House of Representatives froze the emergency assistance to Israel in the amount of 1 billion dollars. Israeli Mignews writes that these funds were needed Israel to re-equip the Iron Dome system.
According to the report, the Democrats simply refused to vote for a broader bill on financing, which included assistance to Israel. According to Politico, the Congressmen who blocked the bill includes those who insisted on the termination of the supply of weapons to Israel during the operation “Guardians”.
At the same time, according to Hayer, the leader of the democratic majority in the House of Representatives, the funds for the Iron Dome were frozen due to the “technical error” and will be approved in the near future.
According to experts, the decision on the freezing of financing does not mean that the United States will not help Israel, it is likely that the help will simply delay for a few weeks.
