WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) has expressed his support for the defense of Israel by voting in favor of the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, also known as H.R. 6126. This legislation aims to provide additional funding to Israel following the unprovoked attack by Hamas terrorists last month.

In a statement released by Congressman Guthrie, he emphasized the importance of supporting Israel in the face of continuous deadly attacks by Hamas terrorists. He stated, "This evening I proudly voted to provide Israel the funds they need to defend themselves in the wake of the continuous deadly attacks by Hamas terrorists. House Republicans will continue to stand with our long-time Israeli allies and ensure that they can effectively protect themselves against these terrorists."

Guthrie further highlighted that the additional funds authorized through H.R. 6126 will specifically strengthen Israel's Iron Dome capabilities. The Iron Dome is a crucial defense system that intercepts and destroys incoming rockets, providing protection for the Israeli population. By bolstering this system, the United States aims to enhance the security of its closest ally in the Middle East.
