        "summary": "A progressive US congressman has announced he will back an amendment to stop American taxpayer funds from financing military aid to Israel, accusing its government of war crimes in Gaza. The proposed amendment, part of a broader budget bill, seeks to cut $3.3 billion in annual military assistance. The move highlights growing dissent within the Democratic Party over unconditional support for Israel's military operations.",
        "content": "<p>A Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives,\nGreg Casar, stated on Monday that he would support an amendment aimed at\nhalting the use of American taxpayer funds to finance military aid to\nIsrael. Casar, who chairs the Congressional Progressive Caucus, accused\nthe Israeli government of committing war crimes in Gaza and dragging the\nUnited States into a conflict with Iran. \u201cSoon, the House will vote on\nan amendment to cut off US taxpayer funding for the Israeli military. I\nwill be voting yes,\u201d Casar wrote on the platform X. \u201cThe Israeli\ngovernment has committed war crimes in Gaza and is now dragging us into\na war with Iran. The American people should not be forced to send more\nweaponry to Netanyahu.\u201d The amendment was introduced by Republican\nRepresentative Thomas Massie as part of the appropriations bill for the\nDepartment of State and national security. If approved, it would\neliminate the $3.3 billion in annual foreign military financing that\nIsrael receives. The proposal does not, however, affect a separate $500\nmillion provided annually for missile defence systems, including Iron\nDome. Casar acknowledged that the amendment could also impact roughly\n$50 million in diplomatic funding but maintained his support. \u201cI would\ncertainly prefer to vote on an amendment that only cuts off military\nfunding, but the most important thing right now is to oppose these\nbillions in military aid,\u201d Casar said.<\/p>",
