The US House of Representatives is currently holding a discussion on the question of financing the Israeli Iron Dome system, and legislators from both parties have expressed their support for the continued budgeting of the US missile interception system.
The Republican House of Representatives, French Hill, spoke during the debate, saying "it is a shame that we have to point this out in a special way. The far left is throwing Israel's security under the bus."
The House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, stood behind the legislation and said: "The Iron Dome is a system for defense purposes only. The system was built by our two countries and saved thousands of lives. Our support for the Iron Dome is part of the Obama administration's understandings. ".
Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Democrat from the Florida State House of Representatives, said during the hearing: "This is a system of self-defense. There is no question about our support for our ally Israel.
