Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and former U.S. ambassador to Japan, on Thursday sponsored and introduced the Emergency Resupply for Iron Dome Act of 2023.
The bill mandates redirecting U.S. foreign assistance from Hamas-controlled Gaza to resupply Israel's missile defense.
"Israel is taking action right now to defend itself and its people. America cannot let Israel stand alone," said co-sponsor Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo. "The Iron Dome is the first line of defense for Israel. It is critical to replenish this vital missile defense system so it can remain effective and operational."
"In the face of such unspeakable attacks, we have a moral obligation to ensure Israel, one of our strongest allies, has the ability to properly defend its people," said bill co-sponsor Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo.
