YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Israel’s war in Gaza and its joint military operation with the U.S. against Iran are fueling deep divisions on Capitol Hill, especially among Democrats. Wednesday, more than half of House Democrats voted to end U.S. military funding for Israel. A separate provision aimed at strengthening U.S.-Israel cooperation is also exposing sharp differences. Lisa Desjardins reports.
