Ron Johnson, a Republican U.S. senator from Wisconsin, has criticized President Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, accusing them of blocking aid to Israel. This criticism comes as the U.S. House of Representatives votes to hasten the delivery of precision-guided bombs to Israel.
Johnson has condemned Biden and Schumer’s alleged obstruction, calling it a failure to support an important U.S. ally in the Middle East. The senator expressed concern over the delay and the impact this could have on Israel’s security given the volatile situation in the region, suggesting that it only increases the risk of conflict.
The sale of the precision-guided bombs to Israel was approved under the Trump administration. However, Senator Bernie Sanders introduced a resolution to block the sale, citing concerns about human rights and Israel’s recent conflict with Hamas. Despite such resistance, the House has made a move towards expediting the bomb delivery, further highlighting the disagreement within U.S. Congress on the issue.
It is worth noting that both Schumer and Biden have historically shown support for Israel, and it remains to be seen how these recent accusations and actions will impact U.S. – Israel relations.
