Claudia Tenney said that “without the Iron Dome system, many more civilians would have been injured or killed.”
Some US congressmen have introduced legislation to allocate an additional $2 billion to Israel for the Iron Dome air defense system. This was stated in a message on the website of the bill’s co-author, Congresswoman Claudia Tenney.
“Without the critical Iron Dome system, which intercepts Palestinian missiles in the air, many more civilians would be injured or killed,” he said.
According to him, in recent days, the Israeli air defense system intercepted more than 3,200 enemy missiles.
Additional appropriations legislation for Operation Iron Swords, declared by Jerusalem after the Hamas invasion, received widespread support in the US Congress.
“Israel has an absolute right to defend itself and its people from terrorists who do not believe it has a right to exist, and it must have the means to do so,” added Congressman Max Miller.
Let’s remember that The Washington Post said that the Joe Biden administration is discussing the possibility of combining emergency aid to Israel and Ukraine with a request to Congress.
It was previously reported that the Pentagon has requested aid for Ukraine and Israel.
