WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), a member of the Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, recently joined 47 of her Senate Republican colleagues in introducing a resolution that condemns any action by the Biden administration to withhold or restrict ammunition or weapons for Israel. This resolution was led by U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).

“As Israel fights to rescue hostages, including American citizens, and dismantle the terror threat that Hamas poses, we should not waver in providing the security assistance Israel needs,” Senator Capito said. “Israel deserves America’s full support, not conditional aid based on the political preferences of the Biden administration.”

This resolution:

  • Condemns any decision by the Biden administration to halt the shipment of United States-made ammunition and weapons to the State of Israel.
  • Demands that the Biden administration continue to fulfill military aid requests from the State of Israel in order to provide the weapons needed to defeat Hamas and defend against attacks from the Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies.
  • Reaffirms the importance of the long history of United States military aid to the State of Israel and willingness to expedite delivery of such aid in times of crisis.
  • Upholds the commitment of the United States to the State of Israel’s security and long-term prosperity.
