House Democratic leader Jeffries says he will not support cutting aid to Israel, urges a ‘major reset’

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries announced he will not back a proposal to cut U.S. aid to Israel. He said he will not try to convince fellow Democrats to oppose the measure. The aid-cutting proposal has split the Democratic caucus. A deep rift exists within the party over continued support for Israel. Jeffries instead urged a “major reset” of U.S. policy toward the region. He framed the reset as a way to address broader strategic concerns. The stance reflects ongoing debate over foreign aid priorities. The outcome of the vote could signal the party’s direction on Middle‑East policy.
