Congressional and public positions diverge on continued weapons support
1.
The United States' military support for Israel during the ongoing Gaza conflict has become a significant political issue, with recent polls showing 61% of Americans opposing sending weapons and supplies to Israel according to a June 2024 CBS News survey. Despite this public sentiment, congressional support for military aid remains strong, with only 19 senators supporting measures to restrict certain military aid last November, and just 26 House members co-sponsoring a bill to prevent sending specific weapons to Israel.
