Leader Schumer Statement On The Resolutions Of Disapproval On Aid To Israel

Washington, D.C. – Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) released the following statement on the Senate vote on the resolutions of disapproval on aid to Israel.

“The humanitarian crisis in Gaza—devastating levels of hunger, starvation, suffering, and death—is heartbreaking and unacceptable.

“As I said this week, the Trump administration and the Netanyahu government have a responsibility to urgently work with experienced and long-standing humanitarian and development partners of the U.S. to surge the delivery of food, services, and humanitarian assistance to innocent Palestinians in Gaza.

“I have also long held that security assistance to Israel is not about any one government but about our support for the Israeli people. For that reason, I voted no on the resolutions of disapproval on aid to Israel.”
