UPDATE 1-Senate leader Schumer says chamber will rush through military aid to Israel

“We will work to move this aid through the Senate ASAP, and the Israeli leaders made it clear to us they need the aid quickly,”

said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer during a trip to Israel. He also emphasized the urgency to provide additional interceptors for Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system and precision munitions to combat the constant missile threat from Hamas in Gaza.

“We’re not waiting for the House (of Representatives). We believe if the Senate acts in a strong bipartisan way, it may indeed improve the chances that the House, even with its current dysfunction, will act,”

Schumer asserted. Alongside military aid, Schumer also stressed the importance of efficient humanitarian assistance in Gaza, while ensuring minimal civilian casualties, urging Israeli leaders to uphold a higher standard compared to Hamas.
