As the Middle East war rages on, pro-Israel Dems may tip the scales in important Senate committees.

As Israel’s conflict with the terror group Hamas continues in Gaza, a new addition to the Democratic side on a crucial Senate committee may boost the country’s support for the country. Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., is assigned to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations ( SFRC ) in the new Congress, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N. Y., announced Thursday. The Nevada Democrat, who was re-elected in November by a small margin in the position that President-elect Donald Trump flipped, is somewhat the second Jewish person to actually provide in the U. S. Senate. Rosen has supported Israel’s right to self-defense in the midst of the ongoing conflict with Hamas, particularly in the midst of the ongoing battle against Hamas. She is also co-chair and co-founder of the Senate Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism. I’m joining the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as a strong advocate for our friends and fighting for freedom, politics, and justice around the world, Rosen said in a speech.” At a time when America’s opponents are looking upend our global authority and destroy our relationships. To develop U.S. international partnerships and counter threats from Iran, Russia, and China, I’ll continue to collaborate with colleagues on both sides of the aisle. As a member of the committee, I’ll even ensure that the United States ‘ unwavering and unconditional support for our political ally, Israel, is maintained. Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N. H., Chris Coons, D-Del., Chris Murphy, D-Conn., Tim Kaine, D-Va., Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., Cory Booker, D-N. J., Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., and Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill. CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS’ NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS Six of the nine current Democrats people just cast ballots in favor of resolutions to stop Israeli weapons transfers. Approaching SFRC ranking part Shaheen, Merkley, Schatz, Van Hollen, Kaine and Murphy were among 19 Liberals who favored some or all of the three steps to do this on the Senate ground in November. With Rosen’s inclusion, there might be more room for bipartisan activity from the commission, especially in relation to Israel.
