Nearly half of Democrats in the House of Representatives on Wednesday rebuked Israel by voting to end aid to the United States ally, even though the measure to cut off aid still failed because of massive Republican support. 

The measure, which was an amendment to the State Department's spending bill, would have eliminated $3.3 billion in funding for Israel but failed in a 314-104 split. Ten lawmakers voted "present." 

The vote still marked a significant change in support for Israel among Democrats, who have had to deal with blowback from liberal voters regarding Israel's handling of the conflict against Hamas. In 2024, just 37 Democrats voted to pull U.S. funding from Israel.
