Democrats in Congress are watching and waiting to see if humanitarian aid will still make House Republicans’ new foreign aid package, worried that Iran’s retaliatory strikes against Israel could mute any momentum there was around addressing the crisis unfolding in Gaza.
“We can’t have humanitarian aid workers being killed anywhere in the Middle East or Gaza,” Rep. Greg Casar said. “The White House needs to continue to press on the humanitarian aid getting into Gaza, and on those aid workers and innocent civilians being protected too.”
Casar said the White House should “not let off the gas” and keep putting pressure on humanitarian aid issues.
